thats FAR from true.... lets not post **** we dont know...k?

its very fixable... were doing one on a truck at work this week.

 

what is fixable

 

your head... and it can be fixed on the car too

 

what all is involved? is the spark plug blowing basically the only thing that could have caused this? anything else i should look for besides wobbly spark plug lol.

 

no, you blew a spark plug

and there a tool to do it, you can buy the tool from ford, or have ford, or a machine shop do it

basically it taps the threadless hole for an insert to go in so the hole is back to normal. its late... and hard to explain when im tired as ****

 

ok well thanks for ur help. if u get on tomorrow, please post the name of the tool. if i can just buy the tool and do it then thats what ill do. it sucks because im in houston visiting my brother and i live in dallas which is 4 hours away... is there anyway to prevent this from happening?

 

Hey Bro I'm just going by what I've had to do in the past. 9 times out of 10 the heads where screwed.

 

ya its fixable depending on what damage the plug did. You could be lucky that over time your plug just slowly came out and let loose in its finale or it killed the threads all through. Either way, look towards the time sert kit and look for a good mechanic to do it that knows about that stuff. Other solutions can be to look for used heads/head on ebay and replace that head. Or buy bad a$$ heads and get a kick out of it. Or as it seems like you might enjoy...just buy new motor.

 

OP do what you want it's your car. A whole new engine probably wouldn't be a bad idea at 190k plus miles on the car.

 

the only reason im thinkin new engine is because of the miles. plus if im going to spend that kind of money on heads vs. getting a new engine with less miles, seems like a no brainer. rather than putting some badass heads on a motor that has 190,000+ miles... or am i wrong?
