very poorly designed plug.
This is the worst designed plug that Autolite and Ford has come up with. i have been working on vehicles, mostly Fords due to I am a FORD Man for 42 years. When attempting to remove the plugs for replacement the lower section broke off in the block. [...] The manual says to let the motor cool before removing. seems that 12 hrs of cooling wasn't enough. at [$] a piece, these plugs are a piece of junk.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
New Removal Procedure
Ford updated removal procedure for the spark plugs are þo have the engine warm. The engine should not be HOT or COLD, from prolong sitting. The ideal way is to drive the car to the store and back. Wait until the engine is warm to the touch. This way is the best to NOT have plug breakage issues. Hope this helps. P.S. There is a special tool to remove the broken plug in the head.
Would definitely recommend these plugs!
