So it finally happens I spit a spark plug. And everything I read on the Internet was right I heard a tapping noise and I thought it was just an exhaust leak. I was wrong. I spit the very last plug on the passenger side. Is there anybody in New England that can fix this, please and thank you. I limped the truck home. But it definitely spit a plug there’s no threads on the plug. The electrode is bent and the coil is junk. Any help in New England would be much appreciated it. Not a job I can do myself.

it sucks and why it's so important to check the torque regularly. i try to do it with every oil change now. i learned the hard way too.

but even though that is probably the most difficult cylinder to get to, the job isn't really too bad even if it's your first time.

all of the kits have a sleeve to ensure you drill straight. you just have to take your time and make sure all the shavings are out.

i say this because i am only an amateur hobbyist mechanic but i was able to successfully fix a couple of my modular engines. i used the lock-n-stitch. youtube fordtechmakuloko has a pretty good video walking you through the procedure. but either way best of luck with it.
