    I just used this kit on a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor. One plug on the passenger side had blown out previously and I used a Dorman kit to cheaply repair it. The dorman insert didnt last as long as I had hoped and it soon began to make the tell tale ticking noise of compression blowing by the threads. Any hoo.....Got the kit and the loctite 266. I took the fuel rail off to make more room. Long story short, the new threads went in without a hiccup. I picked up a USB endoscope and ran it down the plug chute and checked them, there were many more nice new threads than the 4 that Ford placed there. New insert and spark plug went in snugly. Note: Make sure you keep going till it bottoms out. I thought at one point dont strip these threads out or you are screwed.. and I actually stopped, scared I would rip them all out and I convinced myself (for a few minutes) that I had seated it properly. I took a step back and figured there was no way that I was gonna rip out all those threads with the torque my arm was giving it, so I kept going wondering the whole time how much a new head was gonna cost me. Then BAM, it stopped solid. Started the car the the purr of all 8 cylinders firing in line. I verified with my bluetooth OBDII reader, that there were no more misfires. Happy Days.

    I watched the video on this tool and am happy to report that it is as great as they stated it was. My spark plug issues are over.

    So, after searching and reading reviews about various repair kits for the Triton 5.4L. I decided to go ahead and spend the extra cash for the CalVan 38900 kit and boy am I glad I did!! This kit comes with (8) inserts and the tools are VERY high quality. The most important thing in this kit is the alignment tool that slips into the head to keep the reamer and tap aligned. This repair was completed on the 3rd from the front drivers side cylinder. Bare in mind, this is a van and the access to the engine is tough. I did use the recommended air ratchet for reaming the old plug hole but decided to tap the newly reamed hole by hand. I would HIGHLY recommend using an inspection camera to look inside the repaired hole to insure that you have removed any shavings and or debris remaining in the cylinder. All in all this tool worked GREAT and I would just say to take your time and follow the included directions. You will be back on the road before you know it.. This repair took me about 2.5 hours to complete. By the way, when comparing the prices, realize that this kit comes with 8 inserts which are roughly a $25.00 value each..

    I have nothing bad to say about the tool. The rethreading went well. The problem I had was the poorly machined inserts. The first two I installed seized up before they seated against the head. The remaining inserts I rethreaded the outside threads. These inserts worked perfectly. My advice is spin the inserts into a 3/4 fine thread nut to check the threads before installing into the head. The threads on the inserts look good, but the insert is sometimes wider at the beginning threads causing the insert to bind up as you start.

    Guys I had to grind down a flat side on the guide to get it to fit properly in the sparkplug well. Once I figure that out installation wasn’t an issue-2006-F150-2v 4.6V8 Repair was on the passenger side rear plug.

    This is the second kit I have bought for my 02 Expedition. My first kit was the Time Sert 5553 which is quite an exceptional piece of engineering. However #3 blew again so after doing my research I took the leap to this tool. I got lucky, the hole needed no reaming but accepted the tap quite snugly and accepted the insert and is performing well. I highly recommend this kit for value and functionality.
