Day 2 of driving it, and no problems in sight! It's nice to have our family ride back. I've put it through its paces entering freeways and haulin as much ass as an expy can. I held it at 5,000rpm ish for a good 5secs before it shifted. It's like it was before the sparkplug popped out. Btw I...- Agentt3

I have used that method before with success. I just decided to use the vacuum and 3/4" tube to make sure the grease would'nt drop in the combustion chamber. I have a borescope but I'm tech retarded so couldn't figure it out. So I went on blind faith and aggressive sucking with the vacuum.- Agentt3

I used the sparkplug against to insert to put it in and torque it, hence the anti seize on the sparkplug threads. The locktight on the outside threads of the insert will hopefully hold it on the next plug change. I was going to use an illaborite long bolt with a lock nutt, but I opted for the...- Agentt3

There's the tap broke off down in the head, I used a 1/2 opened end wrench and a adjustable crescent to grab the square top you see there and turn it 1/4 turn at a time. ♂️S&@T sucked. You can see the lighter part of the taps threads went just far enough. Right before she went to her home...- Agentt3

You can see here the old threads getting cut off. Already threaded with my 7/8"-14 NF thread on the outside and getting the inside threaded. Comparing the old 3/4" insert to my homemade 7/8" insert on the right.- Agentt3

Both the tap and drill with extensions tacked on, I suggest you weld it all the way around and triple quardruple check to make sure it's straight it will make it easier for you. You can see how deep the drill bit went by the lighter color on the tip. Mr. Drilly showing off his new length to...- Agentt3

I like your idea, my problem is we're in contract for a new home that's being built. So we're not supposed to finance anything right now. And until the homes done and escrow closed, we have to make it work. I do have an idea to make the bigger spark plug insert, but I can't find any info on...- Agentt3

2004 expedition 4.6 AWD blew a spark plug repair on number 2 driver side. I've read a bunch about repairs. I've done a helicoil repair on our old 2000 expy 4.6 awd:(, I've learned that was the wrong way to fix it. So my problem is, should I do timesert 5600 or the lock n stitch? The plug that...- Agentt3
