Hi guys.
Just posted an intro in the new member section.
I have an 03 Eddie Bauer with the 5.4 engine.
I know spark plugs blowing out of the head is quite common with my year and engine.
I searched the tech and how to forums and only got more info on this problem
The plug that came out on mine is the rear passenger one, I know it needs a heli coil to fix it.
My question is: how does the heli coil get installed? do you put it on the new plug and just turn it in? I think there is a special tool Needed. Does auto zone or the like loan these tools.
Does the Ford Dealer carry the correct replacement bits since it is a common fault?
How tough of a job is this considering the plugs location?
Is this a DIY job or should I take it in?
Anyone know how much a shop will charge to do it?
Is there a how to anywhere on the forum that I missed?
Sorry for the long post but I want to cover all the bases before I start this project.
Thanks.
Greg.
