blew out a spark plug

ColdSteel · November 13th, 2008, 02:29 PM

so, brother blew a spark plug out of the cylinder head last night. i spent all night trying to use a re-thread kit on it, that was a no go. will a bigger spark plug work if i tap it out more? or is he going to need a new cylinder head?

wow, what was he doing to blow the plug out? Ive blown coil packs, but never encountered a spark plug blow out...

you can helicoil the head, rather than replacing it. Depending on how bad it really was...

Its actually a common problem on the 4.6s because they are aluminum heads and do not have enough threads. I blew out 2 - got sick of fixing it so put some 04 heads that have twice as many threads.
