2000 F150 blown out spark plug HELP!
Its happened twice to me already, is there a special way to put in a helicoil or what? Is there an alternative to having to remove the heads in order to fix this problem???

a heli coil is not the proper way to repair the blown out plug. and the tap can come in contact with the valves if your not careful with them
http://www.blownoutsparkplug.com/images/100_8592.JPG. you need a time sert when they blow out. http://www.blownoutsparkplug.com/ these guys know what they are doing maybe search for answers on the site. |
wow i never even thought about the tap hitting the valves! Ive got one more question for you though, i thread the spark plug in the hole and it torques down and everything but as soon as i start my truck i can hear the blow by coming right out the plug hole. What does this mean?
|
so it blew out of the hole and you could still torque it down? never heard that happening yet. it didnt blow back out? you definately have a problem if you can hear it coming from the plug. you sure its coming from the plug and not an exhaust manifold gasket leak? if its coming from the plug it means its not sealing in the hole. its either not threaded in all the way tight or the hole or plug are really screwed up.
|
thats what i said, im 95% positive its the plug because when i pulled the coil off the rubber booty was all thrashed and melted... could it be possible that the plug hole is to big for the plug because of the tap or something? I dont know what to do!

i cant see the helicoil... so basically what could possibly be happening is the plug is threading in to the threads used for the helicoil is that a possibility?

You might want to call the guys at blownoutsparkplug.com and see what they think. It may be worth using their services. They aren't cheap, but it beats replacing the head. They have an oversized insert.

More than half of the inquiries for rental of my Timesert kit have come from guys with a re-blown cheap repair kit from Dorman or Helicoil (or the like). |
