5.4L Fuel Injector O Ring In Spark Plug Well

[Plati]

Its all the way around the plug? How the heck did you do that?
Forget the vacuum idea, I don't think Stormy Daniels could suck that out of there!
That plug is permanent now, unless you have dental tools …

What are those pics of? Is it wedged against the spark plug,? You screwed the pooch on this one, were going to have to go mid evil on that sucker. You may have to get it up in pieces. Looks like somehow it's wedged in there. Nothing's impossible, just got to be a little more clever now.

Fudge!!! idgaf. can i really just put the coil on top and call it a day. My uncle is a mechanic too. he can probably **** around with it for 3hrs and get it out. Dental tools? supper slim. might even have space to dig at it with the endoscope in there too.

yeah i know i fudge that up reall good. but now im looking under the engine. and my oil pan and only certain lines are swamped in oil. its late now. i will take pics of my leaking oil.

my overdrive its out too. grinds trying to shift to OD and wont even shift into it. that why i stopped driving it plus it was winter and heater was out. this is a texas truck. im in chicago. frame is very good conditions compared to my dads 04 xlt. so. i dont mind having it parked rn. ima get my civic running at this point. darn it.

thanks to all you guys. didnt think i would get so many replies. ill start comming in here more often. for what its worth, i got the truck for $3k with 120k. i have to get the air bag conversion done too. rides super bumpy right now. this will be a fun project. lmfaoo does the Upgrade Oil pump fit in these trucks?.

i wouldnt say around like a ring finger. its still standing up, vertical. a 45degree extra long pick can probably drag it out but fudge man. its so tight inthere. i cant even see

Why not just leave it there. Put a new oring or injector with the oring, and call it a day. You can mash a spark plug socket over it and the plug, when you want change out that plug. Sounds like you got more problems than a silly o ring. Worse case scenario, you might smell some burning, but with everything else your posting, that's nothing.

Why not remove the spark plug? It looks like it is just above the flats of the plug.

the socket still spins around and doesnt grip the thread thing, its not a deep well socket. its only got like 1/2" deep before it hits the magnet opening or whatever its called. . i might be able to get a feel for it. and then force the sockey with downward pressure to remove and let it drop it.

It would melt & be a mess, it would prevent socket from seating

i tried the Claw tool and it is able to get right on where it needs to be on the opposite all with the endoscope inside.
my friend came over yesterday but the extra long needle nose pliers werent able to open and dig to grasp on. no space for endoscope

i ordered this dental tool along with an extra long straight pick to go along side so the oring wont dance around.

i will record my next few trys before i accomplish this. thinking of giving it a nice rinse with some carb or brake cleaner and air it out immediatly to get better grip without sludge.

i cannot stress this enough, but thanks alot to the people helping me out.

Try a little fish hook, tie some line to it and take the extra long needle nose pliers and the endoscope to get it hooked real good.
Pull it up while watching with endoscope enough to get it with pliers.

Ok finnaly got it out!!. on to the next set of problems. my friend forced the socket inthere and started to lefty loosey guessing at it and took out the socket and there was the damn spark plug. we used the endoscope to see where the tape and o ring whent and sure enough it was there, we tried to pick, drag, and claw tool it, and said whatever and blow gunned it, sure enough the tape came flying out. cylinder chamber saved. THANKS EVERYBODY.

it ended up being electrical tape with the o ring. i guess the previous owner tried to mess with it. smh. all the other ignition coils were loose. one of them was cross threaded inside the intake manifold?

so i guess in all this shuffle. i ended up loosing the PCV Valve Groumment and cant see to find it. i will do a search on ford parts.

also i found this T Shape Vacuum hoses that run to behind the battery box?? it was disconnected with a screw inside. and other side comming from the engine was taped off. my guess would be that box behind the battery is cracked?

would anybody have part numbers for the Groumment, Vacuum hoses, and that box?

If you can see it in stuck in the spark plug threaded area, you can probably get a set of snap ring pliers, (they are very useful anyway) and stick the end in the spark plug hole after you are through the rubber O ring trying to remove, squeeze the handle (they will open at that point) and that should allow you to walk the O ring out. Similar things have happened to me a few times and the snap ring pliers have worked for me. Good luck.

Sorry, just saw that you got it out already, good job.

Was also going to suggest a small tube on shop air, but just saw you got it, congrats!

 

[BRIANGEE]

Dang holmes... Could've just hooked it out with some rebar wire. Lol

 

[bgrattan]

Wow, so it just came flying out with air from an air compressor? Nice.
