You don't have to remove the head with this kit.

this seems to a common problem,yes?

 

that kit works great!! i used it on my 2003 and have not had a prob yet! knock on wood. after i tapped the plug hole i duct taped and small length of garden hose to my shop vac and stuck it in the hole to get out all the shavings(while turning the engine over)Worked great!! good luck JUST TAKE YOUR TIME DOING IT!! if you F*ck it up it will be $$$$$$$$$$ Good luck!

 

Only when the plugs are installed wrong. - That's common.
