Spark plug hole repair

[kirk]

Search did me no good. What kit do you folks recommend for a DIY guy? What's the best bang for the buck?

Timesert is Ford recommended repair

Time sert or lock-n-stitch, both are Ford recommended

Ford tells me about $200+ to do it. Not a bad price I think. This is my wife's 2000 Expedition XLT 5.4 that we've had 6 years. It also needs 5 tires and probably front end work so it's currently for sale, and may end up in the junk yard within 2 weeks.

No problem, as it's already been replaced with that 2003 Grand Marquis I bought 2 weeks ago. Talk about timing!

But wait, the timing stories get better! This past weekend four of us, including our 11 month old grandson drove this thing from Battle Creek to Louisville and back for a wedding, around 700 miles total. We get home yesterday, unload the car, then the wife drives it 4 blocks to Wendys for some lunch. When she came out and started it at Wendys, the plug blew!

Holy crap what a weekend!
