What are these lights called?

Yes it is even better. So now if I can just diagnose the engine noise I made another thread about, the fluid dripping from the tailpipe, the fog lights, and the ac door issue I'll be all set.

Just remember to torque the plugs correctly, use a torque wrench. The 2v engines didn't have the issue of plugs breaking, they had the issue of blowing out plugs....

If you ever experience a spark plug blow out, there is thread inserts that allows you to repair it.

Thank you for the information. It should come in handy if I choose to do it.

Exactly what he said. My 99 GT has spit out 2 plugs due to previous owner not torquing with torque wrench. However, from what I understand, Ford revised the heads in the 2003 model year 4.6 and 5.4 to have extra threads. I would still agree with Skauber that torque wrench is still the way to go.

Do you know what the torque spec is on the plugs?

I did like the video says. Tight, plus a little extra.

I will do that. Was anyone able to diagnose the noise my expy is making?
