Fixing A Stripped / Blown Out Spark Plug On A Ford Triton

- In this video I show you how I fix a blown out spark plug on my F150 5.4 Triton engine from the top without removing the head. The 2 valve triton engines are notorious for blowing spark plugs out of the heads and when this happens it usually strips the threads in the head itself and now you cant get a plug to go back in and if you do it blows right back out again. In order to fix this there is a kit you can buy from amazon to permanently repair your engine. LINK BELOW. Please give a like and subscribe. Thanks for watching

As a fellow mechanic I applaud you for teaching so well and being such an amazing teacher
I don’t know anything about cars. Thank you so much for helping understand the issue I am having with my baby truck. They tried to cheat me out of my truck, now I know what it needs. Thank you!
I was frozen in fear of working out the bottom dead center part(so as not to drill the piston) but your example of measuring and checking against the length of the drill bit was genius. Thank you.
Glad I could help.
The Pickup I’m Driving, (99 F150 5.4 Triton) Sat For 6 Years With A Blown Plug, And That Was The Problem Ever Since
It’s Running Like A Champ
Nice walkthrough. I like how detailed you are compared to other videos. Definitely gonna order the kit for my 98.
Thanks. It’s one of the best investments I have made.
Man if you’ve had this problem I’m praying for you. This problem w/ the v8 tritons are the biggest pain.
I finally said goodbye to it about a year ago. It was bitter sweet.
Just happened to me yesterday. '10 5.4 3v
That sucks
I thing that is number 5 cylinder number 1 cylinder is on massager side of truck
I have to do this to my f250 it’s my first time doing this job this video really helps. Does the Air push the Piston down? That’s the only part I don’t get
So the air blowing in the spark plug hole is just to know when the valves are closed. When the air blows free through the cylinder it means there is an opening that the air is bypassing through. When you are turning the crankshaft and the valves close it creates pressure in the cylinder popping the hose out and now you know the valves are closed. This is important so you don’t blow metal shards through the valves.
how can you tell which hole needs to be worked on?
I have an 04 Ford F-150 XLT Triton with a 4.6L engine, I just started giving it a tune up and on the third spark plug on the passenger side I couldn’t get the 5/8 spark plug socket on the spark plug. The first two went smooth as silk but this third one I cannot get the socket on there. I grabbed a mirror and flashlight and it looks to me, (I can’t see well) that the plug is stripped, any ideas to help me get this out? I just can’t believe it, I haven’t owned it for that long and it’s the first tuneup I’ve attempted and this is what I’m dealing with. Thanks so much.
You can try to tap a 12 point 15mm on it. If you can’t get that on there you can heat the socket real hot and it will stretch over the plug but chances are it will sacrifice your socket.
Do you still have your truck? & how many spark plugs did you have to rethread?
I ended up having to do 3 overall. I sold it about a year ago. I miss it a little.
Hey so I saw this video about a month ago, I have an early 2000s cargo van 5.3 and I’ve been trying to do this with the 2nd plug in the passenger side. The van has very limited space and is very fustrating to work on as it is. The issue I’m facing is that when I send the tap down, it stops about a thumbs width away from being complete (the pin touching the insert) it doesn’t want to go any farther. I’ve blown out all the shavings, and when I look down the camera there seems to be most of the thread in. Is there something I’m missing? Plz help I need to get this van moved or the county gonna tow it off. It’s currently being used as a tool shed
I’m so sorry I did not see this sooner. Double check and make sure you’re not hitting the top of the piston.
What brand of electric ratchet did you use?
Milwaukee M12
What's the name of that kit on Amazon? I have a ford f250 v10 triton.
There should be a link in the description. If not, here is the link. amzn.to/3FnClRJ
That's a lot of anti seize i hear you use one small dip to get the spark plug started but i guess you feel like it needs to be heavy loaded but is everyone's preference
I’ve seen them break from seizing in the head. I just want to make extra sure they will come out. 😂
