> 3 dayWorked exactly as described. Excellent product and easy to use (almost too easy). It took me 45 min just triple check that the piston was at the bottom of the cylinder before I used these tools. Then 10 min to bore the hole and re-thread for new. The only downside to this tool is that it was rather expensive (for my one time job). But given I had no problems, it was worth it.

> 3 dayI blew a spark plug in cylinder 4 near the firewall of my 2004 mustang gt. I bought a helicoil kit to patch things up like a band aid. That didnt last for long. So, I decided to shell out the big bucks for a true repair kit. I decided to go with this kit because several reviewers mentioned using it for their mustangs as well. The kit comes with all you need to accurately rethread a previously repaired hole. The thread inserts are excellent, theyre beefy and solid. They fit nice and snug in the tapped hole, with the help of some jb weld. I have yet to encounter any problems yet, if i do ill update.

02-01-2025I’ll give the CalVan Spark Plug Thread Repair Kit five stars all day, I didn’t have to remove the heads. I have a 2006 F150 XLT with a 4.6 engine, has 100,000 miles on it. I was 25 miles from home when #3 spark plug blew out. Disconnected the fuel injector and stayed off the freeways going home. Three miles from home the #2 spark plug blew out, bad day. I saw the CalVan kit on YouTube. Amazon shipped it to me in two days. Didnt have any problems drilling and tapping. I had to hold the insert with pliers to screw the spark plug in to it, threads were very rough. Then I couldn’t get the insert to thread into the head, I cross threaded one of the inserts and had to use an easyout to get it back out. So, I took an old lawn mower head, drilled and tapped it and the insert wouldn’t thread into it either. I used a sparkplug thread chaser to cleanup the inside of the insert and picked up a 3/4 -16 thread chaser to clean up the outside of the insert, it took off a lot of metal. Now it works just like on YouTube. The intake manifold won’t let the guide drop in the #4 spark plug well, had to grind a groove in the guide to do the #4 plug. I bought the truck new and babied it all it’s life and it’s still blowing spark plugs. I live in California, I can get the CalVan Kit, but they can’t ship the individual inserts (prop 65 or something like that), so I had to pick up another kit, I needed another insert to replace the one I cross threaded and a guide for the one I had grinded the groove in. I ran the thread chasers over the inserts from the new kit and everything is good, no rethreading. I installed inserts in all eight cylinders.
