We actually just had this happen to one of our Ford work vans....for reference it was under $500 and we had it back in action less than an hour later. I find it funny that they actually have a repair "kits" so readily available because it is so common.

 

haha HT1 plugs, yey Ford...as if the tritons weren't bad enough on there own haha.

helicoil will be the last resort, yea i gotta find someone that has a time sert kit thats willing to do it with the heads still on and the time to do it before the weekend or itll be like this another week of driving.
