02 expedition blown spark plug
i have read all the posts on the subject. i blew the #3 plug on the passenger side. 5.4 engine in an expedition. i can fix it but dont have the right tools!
i dont want to buy the kit from timesert, just for a one time deal. anyone have any other ideas? thanks, mark
i would like to beg, borrow or steal! for a fair price of course. thanks, mark

i guess ill try the helicoil pkg for the triton engine. the best price ive found is 189.00. the timesert kit looks better but the best price ive found for it is 389.00 ouch!!! someone needs to rent these tools out. kind of expensive for a one time deal. thanks, mark

got the job done, took about 2 hrs. no problems, and the truck is running fine. i used grease on the tap and i'd say i got 99% of the shaving. helicoil recommends using rtv high temp to seal the insert. seems to be holding ok.
the kit from helicoil has the long reach tools and 12 inserts, a life time supply for me.

forget a helicoil-log on to www.locknstitch.com-they provide the appropriate solution to the plug seat problem
