I thought I had a intake manifold leak. I was driving the car a short distance when I blow the spark plug out of the head. I don"t believe I hurt the motor, I drove it about a block. My question is there a way to helicoil the head to put the plug back in?? My goal not to take the head off unless it is absolutely necessary. Any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance.

It's more common on the 4.6 & 5.4 V/8s but they should have a kit that will work with your engine... jfl72170 Novice Jun 9, 2010, 1:24 PM Post #3 of 6 (1583 views) Re: 2000 ford taurus Sign In Is this a common problem? If so once it's repaired, is the motor still prone to this problem again?

Mainly the 4.6 & 5.4s due to fact there is only 5 treads that hold the plug. Any engine can blow a plug if it isn't installed correctly.......... With the poor design on the 4.6 & 5.4, proper plug installation is extremely critical. zmame Veteran / Moderator Jun 10, 2010, 5:38 PM Post #5 of 6 (1571 views) Re: 2000 ford taurus Sign In Also recommend paying the extra money and getting a shop to put heli-coil in of you never installed one before .. i've seen a couple bad jobs roll into to shop, it will be cheaper in the long run.
