Ford Loc N Stitch SP Thread Repair

[Rice Eatr]

I blew a spark plug in my 01 Lightning. Anyone have the tool and experienced in the repair? I would be happy to pay for your time to repair it.

Looks like the kit is around $600 and am hoping to avoid buying it.

Junk...

I'm sure you had good results on a NA engine. Add boost and you'll have issues.

Steel inserts alter the heat range and retain the heat. I've seen my fair share of junk PI heads with steel inserts.

Lock-n-stitch is the only Ford approved repair
