I purchased the same kit for my 5.4l. I changed the plugs and coils in my truck and used it to move across country (3200 miles) pulling a heavy trailer, over a year later I have not blown out a plug, do you suppose I am out of the woods? I figure if a plug was going to blow, it would have done it by now but I am just making an assumption and assumptions have burnt me before.

I had to do cylinder #7 on the driver side last year. Some garage I used put in a Dorman (or other) cheap insert. It must have lasted 15,000 miles. I never did major engine work before but have done brakes, master cylinder replacement, brake line installs and other small fixes to my truck. I never saw this video but I did order the Cal-Van kit and it worked out great. Very straightforward. I borrowed a friends scope, blew out the debris and so far so good. Going to change spark plugs this weekend, should I be concerned when I back out plug #7? Will the insert remain seated if I followed all of the install steps to the letter? Your thoughts...

Hello Javo, I forgot to JB weld my insert -- should I remove the plug and redo -0 I did use the high temp thread lock

[@blitz8619]

I got a 2018 6.8 triton. What thread repair kit would i use.

[@thatguypinky2913]

I didn't use jb weld and I also torqued mine to 22lbs

[@LosPastrana]

Why are you doing the treads? Did the spark plugs bow out?

[@javosgarage]

In my particular case, I'm doing this as a preventative measure. These motors are notorious for only having a few threads to hold the spark plug and they can strip out over time and blow the spark plug out. This will keep that from happening.

Is the time sert 6020 threadlocker liquid or gel? I don't have any but wanted to see if there is a alternative.

[@EastSideBlitz1337]

Great tutorial by the way. Very informative.

[@javosgarage]

I used the liquid. Honestly, I didn't know there was a gel option with it. I have also used a Loctite version that worked really well too. It's their Loctite 27240 high temp, high strength thread locker. Here's a link so you can check it out: amzn.to/3C5vEVp So I don't get in trouble I have to let you know I am an Amazon Affiliate and that is an affiliate link so I earn a commission from purchases. I still used the JB Weld up along the shoulder though.

[@javosgarage]

Thank you very much for the compliment!

Would this kit work on 2008 Crown Vic police interceptor?

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Yes. The 4.6 2 valve and the 5.4 2V use the same heads.
