Spark Plugs problem

dannyboy281 · July 6th, 2009, 06:41 PM

Hey guys i just changed the spark plugs on my 04 GT after putting in the new plug which are the NGK's Iridium IX TR55IX 7164 and as soon as i started the car a sound came from it as if some thing inside was hitting or banging i took them off an re installed them and still the same noise came back so then i put the old ones back in and the noise is still there any ideas it sounds horrible please help

07 STROKER · July 6th, 2009, 06:43 PM

are any of the plugs damaged...ie. piston contact?, are all the tools accounted for? didint drop anything down a cylinder?

That's not good. Perhaps you tightened 'em down too much and tore some threads.

dannyboy281 · July 6th, 2009, 08:39 PM

i checked all tools are accounted for and each plug looks fine no piston contact due to incorrect length i even got my shop vac out and attached a small hose and put it inside each piston to try to suck anything up that might of fell inside all that came out was a little paper but very little i also tried using the magnetic to finder inside each piston but nothing came out. any other ideas before i try to fire it up again i even removed my upper plenum to see if any got sucked in from the TB

well now im pretty much f***** the magnet head broke off inside while i was checking to see if any fell in now its magnetized to the piston head so now i do have something inside the block this royally blows i guess the heads are coming off now for sure

dannyboy281 · July 7th, 2009, 02:25 AM

i did try with another magnet it didnt work which i thought it would oh well but thanks Unix, oh what does it look like the 4 claw thing look like can you post a pic so that i can try it out before i rip her apart tomorrow the good thing is i will see if i port and polish the heads while im at it and maybe change the cams, since ill have to resurface the heads i figure might as well do it. thank for the help guys. oh do you guys have any detailed manuals on how to remove the heads and what the torque range is for the bolts

This hurts me deep inside.

dannyboy281 · July 8th, 2009, 01:26 AM

well today i took off the intake manifold and all the other components that have to come off before you can get to it, tomorrow ill be taking unbolting my long tubes, valve covers, and also try to get to the timing chain. i know you need a specialty tool to keep the cams from moving when removing the timing chain do you know what that tool is and what else i might need to do or get while im in there also where to pick that tool up at.
