@IndyTiger1050 2 года назад

So you left part of the metal tip that broke off into the cylinder. Look at the tip of the first plug, half of the lower part is gone. The ceramic piece broke it off being pushed down? A bore scope into the piston for foreign metal bits seemed reasonable.

Hello sir I have a question how did the truck run or behave when six of the eight plugs were did it not want to go over a certain speed limit or anything like such?? I just bought a navigator 5.4 and need to know if broken plugs would cause it to not want to drive or have no power ? It does have one I seen that’s broken coil is not connected it has no power and won’t go over twenty mph and is back firing and shot out some white smoke

@austingoleman9431 4 года назад

Just did plug change on my 5.4 thank god somebody done been in it had new style 1 piece plugs and lots of anti seize on them 6 out of the 8 were just hand tight took little over an hour but the what I though was going to be a nightmare turned out pretty easy thank you whoever was a descent mechanic for the never seize

Champions are part number 7989. However, as far as them being the only ones to make a 1 piece plug... not true. Motorcraft updated is SP546 Autolite has the HT-15 Then there are junk E3 plugs that barely do 30k miles before the gap is HUGE and starts smoking the coils.

@ackliph 3 года назад

Thanks for this video! We have a 2010 F-150. I've always heard stories of how awful the sparkplugs are. That was after we replaced them! Now I see from your video what they were talking about. Those sparkplugs are weird looking. They didn't look anything like the ones we pulled out or put in. Ford must have updated the part.

@SuperEvilmonkey88 Год назад

That's because those plugs were an issue from 2004- to early Nov. 2007. After that there was a design change with the head AND the plugs went from a 2 piece design to a 1 piece. Terrible design on Ford's part but most of thier stuff is. We've got a 2007 with a Nov. 2006 engine... 82k miles... someone had already swapped the problem factory plugs out with some snake oil BS E3 Diamondfires. Crap plugs that barely make 30k miles before the gap is horribly excessive causing misfires and smoking coils... problem we have right now is one plug has welded itself in place from oxidation and another that did the same but broke leaving only the threaded shell welded in the head.

@maxvolovich9407 4 года назад

I had one that was looking like I had to pull the a plug that broke but saved on that to buy the toll to pull the plug that broke. Found also a low compression on the same side to find out that one of the 3 valves actually was broken. Saved me from buying a plug removal tool. I did how ever had to buy a new compression tester my cheap one and not fit and the fitting dose not fit my cheap one. But I am looking at getting that tool anyway. I have had several 3 valve with really tight spark plugs but have had the ability to remove with out braking them

@Bubba22able 3 года назад

Got it! I have a 2006 F-250 with 59,000 miles on it. I broke the rear one that seems like its up under the driver's seat. Got the Lisle tool, watched here how it's done, and it was a textbook extraction.

@KoonTrucking 3 года назад

Awesome. Glad this helped you out

@Bubba22able 3 года назад

@Bill Haggard There wasn't any. The top part of the plug snaps off clean. The tool pushes the center piece of porcelain down a little farther into the front part of the plug. The tool works sort of like a glorified 'easy out' does for broken off bolts.

@modernoutside9717 Год назад

Thanks y'all, this was maybe the best vid out there on fixing this bad design flaw. But you forgot to put an Amazon link in the descrip. for the Dr. Pepper. Am about to buy an '04 E-350 / 5.4L van (but only has 95K mi., so prob. still the factory-orig. plugs), to turn into a campervan, and replacing these plugs is priority #1. Fingers crossed the other vids out there on how to carefully get them out withOUT them breaking will keep me from needing this tool, but good to know how, if I do. But first I gotta fix that OTHER, earlier, Triton spark plug problem on an '00 4.6L Econoline I own, then sell it: the blown-out-of-the-head plug, with the CalVan tool & inserts. Was a diesel/truck mechanic myself, like, a hundred years ago, now in completely different line of work, but have subscribed just for the entertainment value ---you all seem like the kinda guys I would enjoy just hanging around the garage with.

@ChaseLandMgmt 4 года назад

Copper anti seize. It has a higher temp rating than Nickel. Works better for high heat applications.

@jamesu 4 года назад

@@ChaseLandMgmt I don't think so?? at least not from CRC or Permatex. Copper is rated below 2000F and Nickel is rated to 2600F. I have been using it on turbo hardware for decades. Either should work as long as you spread it down the tip. The threads don't seize, the tip does. Copper can react with stainless as well.

@ChaseLandMgmt 4 года назад

Huh, the loctite brand of anti seize gives the temperature advantage to copper.

@JasonJonesPhotography 4 года назад

The irony is that this, blown out plugs and timing chain sets that werent able to last 50k miles was such a common Ford V8 problem, yet Jaguars from the Ford/same era are some of the easiest engines Ive ever done plugs on. In nearly 2 decades I cannot remember a single broken and siezed plug (they didnt use this design thankfully), and it wasnt horribly often you had to replace coils unless a valve cover leaked and soaked the boot causing it to short out since rich folks drove them 300 more miles with the CEL flashing for good measure. Those jags all used motorcraft parts and we routinely bought parts from the Ford or Lincoln dealers on the same street when we needed something same day that was out of stock at our dealer. Even the timing chains on the Jag V8's, while a fairly common repair, were way more reliable than the Ford V8's, and could be changed so easily (usually 3-4 hr job on an XJ if it was running just rattling) with a $100 cam alignment kit if you wanted your own instead of waiting for the shop's tool to come available. I went to put timing chains on my 2005 V8 Lincoln Aviator and they cost 2x what the Jaguar parts did, in addition to I had blown 3 of the plugs out over the last 6 months, and knew the rest would prob break off (the only reason they dont blow out is theyre stuck in on Fords) while I was changing them since I was in there. I just traded that dog in on a Dodge Ram instead!

@House_Stark 3 года назад

Just used this tool on my 2005 F-150. Works like a charm! I heard if you run the engine for a good while to get it hot, these spark plugs tend to come out better. Especially if you use 1/2" impact on them. I didn't try this due to my paranoia of potentially cracking the heads when you do pull the plugs out of a hot engine. Anyone else try this to success?

I've done that job way too many times. I use Loctite 77164 Nickel Anti-Seize when I put them back in. It cost a little more than the Permatex 80078 but I believe it was worth it if they don't get stuck and break off for the next guy changing the plugs.

@A.C.71 2 года назад

I have a question for mechanics out there that know what they are talking about. I had a mechanic tell me the extraction tool is only good for a couple plug removals then he has to buy a new tool so my cost to replace the plugs could go up if he breaks more than a couple plugs. Seems like a good way for a mechanic to get me to buy him a new tool or to just make extra money. What do you guys think?

@ecleveland1 2 года назад

@@A.C.71 I have used mine a few times and I see no wear on the tool that I recommended. I would just use a different mechanic if I got that excuse for the cost of the job. These plugs are notorious for breaking and you never know how many, if any, are going to break. And what if the ones that break are # 7 and 8. Those are the worst ones that can't eat up time to get out. That being said how do you price a job and be fair to the customer and your business? This is why the price can be high to replace 8 sparkplugs. If you have any mechanical skills you can replace your plugs. Follow the instructions that come with the tool and maybe watch a couple of videos on RU-vid and you should be fine. If on the other hand you don't have any skills or get angry when things go wrong DON'T do this yourself.

@A.C.71 2 года назад

@@ecleveland1 after watching fordtechmakaloco showing how you can even break the extraction tool and have to drill out the plug. and even possible to have to remove the head if all goes horribly wrong...well that isn't helping in wanting to take this on myself. problem is finding someone that is competent when all mechanics generally say they know how to do it...even the guys that tear up stuff say this.

@SuperEvilmonkey88 Год назад

Your mech isn't exactly yanking your chain about the tool. It does indeed have a threaded wear item and they do wear down. How many plugs? Well that sorta depends on how aggressive you have to get with it. With the Lisle tool you don't have to replace everything, the particular threaded part can be purchased by itself. Because like I said, it is concidered a wear item... kinda like brake pads, clutches, batteries, wiper blades. Once it's used up to where it can no longer grab the broken plug it's time to replace it.
