@pismo1 I broke off the threaded portion of the spark plug in the head. Just dropped it off to be removed.

I guess I don't understand, you broke the porcelean part off but it shouldn't keep you from getting the threaded part out.

Really, I've never seen that happen before, break the porcelain yes, strip the thread yes, but break through the body of the plug no. Wow you must have arms like a lowland gorilla. That must have been really stuck.

These aren't 2 piece like the old 3V 5.4L, correct? Those were expected to break, but these... Makes you wonder if there was a defect or foreign material in the metal.
