Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had to use a Helicoil repair threads on a 2000 contour svt and if it worked. The 4th spark plug blew right out of the engine. loud as he'll when it happened.
 
I bought an svt years back and the previous owner had put one in. It had been pushed in to deep. Just make sure its clean, and dont go to deep.
 
Bet it sounded like a machine gun when it blew! They get used all the time on the mid 2000s Ford 5.4L V-8s for the same reason. I would try it.
 
machine gun for sure, at first I had no idea what it was until I took the plastic cover of, but so far so good with the Helicoil. thanks.
