I have a 2004 Mustang GT one of the plugs has blown out of the heads I bought a tap 14mm 1.25 to rethread the head, the tap is to small for the strip spark plug hole, so I try the tap on another spark plug hole and the tap is still to small but when I bought plugs for the car I bought for a stock and all plugs fits with no issues. How can I fix this? I bought the tap at O'Reilly's for 10 bucks!

Google "time-sert spark plug repair ford". This is what many people believe to be the best kit for this common problem. You can probably find videos for the fix on YouTube.

Yep can't tap a hole that has no material. Time sert for the win. I'm surprised your 04 heads have an issue. They are the 8/9 tread heads that were made to solve that issue.

Time sert FTW! Had you just recently changed plugs? I had one back out some how on my 02 GT about 2 days after changing plus for the 30th time (dang nitrous cars!)

The weekends can be kind of slow. Give it some time and someone will help you out.

The spark plugs are 14mm.

I'm not sure what a triton repair kit is.

Modular engines used in Ford trucks were marketed under the Triton name from 1997–2010

Yeah, I'm well aware of the Triton name plate. Just never heard a time sert kit called a triton repair kit. I've been under a rock apparently.
