I blew a spark plug about 2 years ago on my 2001 4.6 gt.
I ordered time-sert kit #4412e
the blowout happened and I immediately grounded the car, not much damaged to the threads was done, the tap alone fixed it and no coil was needed, so i put the plug in torqued to spec and put the time-sert kit away.
2 years later (now) i have another blow out in the same plug, it needed to be coiled. but the coil after tapping and boring, was the "deep hole" kit and i needed the shallow one. when putting it in it looked like it was supposed to go deeper and i ended up stripping the coil out of the head. (the coil pulled the new threads in the head out)
is there any way to fix this by going with a bigger size coil? I am completely lost as what to do, the engine is older and not worth the head work. any coil experts have any advice?
here are the time- sert specs
m14x1.25
spark plug kit
deep hole
part # 44122
thanks for any advice in advance!
