  • holy shit, y eso lo tengo que hacer yo solo

  • The only way to fix these is with the Time-sert tool. Any other repair kit will not hold. take it from someone with a fleet of 50 V-10 fords...

  • Whea did ya pak tha ka?

  • @tt350chevelle - Yes you can....but it's not perfect solution....put a big dab of grease on the nose of the cutter and the grease will hopefully catch most of the cuttings!

  • I'am in the process of going to trial with Ford Canada in B.C and would appreciate feedback from anybody has experianced this spark plug blow out problem.

  • When the vehicle is new, pull the plugs and put "anti-seize" compound on the threads.

  • Glad I drive a GM....lol So how do you keep all the cuttings from entering the cylinder, when using the boring bar? You can't.... so now you have aluminum cuttings inside the cylinder causing all kinds of extra wear to the rings,piston, ring lands and even possible getting trapped between the valve and valve seat! ... nice job Ford.

  • Time Sert 5553 kit

  • DavesTreeFarm... They don't call them Ford Exploders for nothin

  • DavesTreeFarm, the thing is i was expecting my ford to go 600,000 miles without a problem, thats what there made for!! these aluminum engines suck and so does whoever was in charge of this shit at ford, hes lucky i cant find him and they should do this work at at least half off and they wont do a damn thing!!!! thanks for the info about the time sert kit at amazon.

  • I didn't even know this was a problem until this evening. Wife called. She was stranded after hearing a boom then a loud noise. I looked at it and thought the spark plug backed out and maybe damaged the last thread or two. No wonder I couldn't get it back in. NOW WHAT, play Russion roulette with the other 7 and hope for the best? Too bad, we've had good luck with our truck. 2002 explorer limited with 4.6L at 160k miles. I found time sert at amazon for $190, gonna give it a try.
