This tool only works on the smaller 9/16 spark plug in the three valve 5.4 engine. You have the 5/8 spark plug. The plugs do not stick in the heads on the older engines.

No. The tool is made for the three valve engine used from 2004 to 2008. The engine used in 2003 uses a different spark plug.

That unit is for 3valve V8's. They started in 05 for the F150. All you need is 9/16" sparkplug socket. I recommend a set that is swivel and fixed mount. I am going to be at his office at 8:15AM. I should be in before 930. I can answer any other details in the AM. Sorry for so late on a Sunday night. I just wanted to make sure I told you what I knew as soon as I knew it.

You wont even need this tool, it's designed for 04 and up Triton 3 valve engines with two-piece sparkplugs that are well known for separating while trying to remove them, you're plugs should have no issues coming out, I had a 02 f150 with the 4.6 Triton and never had any issues with removing sparkplugs

I am not familiar with that engine, i don't know if it uses the same type of spark plug. Technically if your plug uses a 9/16 socket wrench then this tool will work, but it might not be necessary. If your plugs look like mine in the pics that i posted, with the long electrode shield below the threads, then this tool will help.

Its been so long since I installed them I don't remember, but I think they did. They were pretty easy to install on my 5.4 Triton. Use extentions, knuckles and a 1/4" drive ratchet and you should be fine.

I purchased for a regular 5.4l Triton 3 valve engine with no issues at all. I would replace them as a pair. I also recommend replacing chains and tensioners. They are also known for giving problems as well. Make sure if you replace the oil pump that you get the correct one for your engine, there are different types available.

This is a universal tool, designed to work on various engine models. Asking the manufacturer and doing your own online research will give you a positive answer. From me, it seems to work on 4 cylinder type engines.

The tools worked easily for me in my Mustang 2007 4.0 L V6. My thoughts and my advice are that they should be able to work in that model as well because it is of the same engine model. BR Veikko Närkki

I have used on 1 cyl. engines but no reason I can see why it wouldnt. it is only counting run time not cylinder cylces

This is what i did. Just above your spark plug their should be words Model, Type, Code. Write down those numbers. Go to B&S wedsite and sent them those nunbers and request the "Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB)" for that engine. They sent me that file and i downloaded it to a CD. I now can look up any part for my engine. Hope that helps.

I had to return this tool because it did not fit my vehicle. I have a e92 (2007 328XI Coupe). I ended up using a standard spark plug socket. I believe this tool is only for the turbo engines - 335 and M3.

I wouldn't order this set for either as it does not work. I still ended up busting two of the spark plugs...and yes, I followed the instructions to the letter and am a very experienced mechanic/own my own car repair business. Go on to youtube and search for the best methods to remove these plugs...this set does not do it well.

Darryl, you will need to order the "Lisle 65000" on Amazon.com. The price is $81.97, here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-65000-Spark-Repair-Aluminum/dp/B0045CUNT2 Here is the product listing name on Amazon.com "Lisle 65000 M14 x 1.25 Spark Plug Hole Repair Kit with Deep Hole Aluminum Head" I have also attached a customer review from the same link pertaining to your Excursion. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Worked Great on My Ford Triton By cham on September 27, 2014 Verified Purchase I ordered this to repair my 2000 Ford Excursion with 6.8L V10 because it blew the #4 spark plug out of the head. After doing a little research, I picked this one because it was the cheapest one that had all of the proper extensions I needed (my spark plugs are deep in the engine). There are plenty of YouTube videos that demonstrate how to use it. It's pretty easy. Mine was toward the back of the engine, but after moving a couple of hoses out of the way, I was able to reach it from my little step-ladder. Cheers, Charles

This worked great for my truck, but only my first few threads were garbage. By "snug" do you mean that the spark plug screws completely into the head and then slips past tight while the plug is seated correctly? If that is the case, it may not help much. That being said, chasing the spark plug threads up and out of the head with a bit of grease will keep the metal shavings out of your cylinders and may provide you with a temporary fix and would not hurt to try, but your threads might be too worn to hold for long, if at all. Good luck!

This intake is strickly for the triton v8, the 5.4 to be exact. Dorman does make a v6 intake though. I do highly recommend these intakes, 10x better then stock!

you need to check each spark plug and if you can get to them easy... If you can get to them. Just make sure this tool is the right size for your spark plugs

If by screwed up the sparkplug hole you mean you damaged the thread yes this will work. The way it works is by cutting a larger threaded hole in the cylinder head and using the same sparkplug size with the included adapter bushing. Make sure you follow the instructions to the . I fixed my BMW sparkplug in about q minutes ...saved me about 700$ plus a lot of time... good luck!

Hi David, Thank you for your inquiry. The model number you provided is for the mower only. Your engine will have a separate model number, often found on the metal tang that protrudes over the top of the muffler or stamped into the metal on the recoil housing just above the spark plug. This will most likely be covered by a plastic shroud that may need to be removed or pulled back. It does appear however from the mower parts diagram that you unit has a Quantum style engine which would use this overhaul kit. The engine model number would be needed to confirm this though.

I don't think you will need this special tool with your engine, I also have a '97 F150 with the same engine, it uses regular spark plugs, this tool is made to remove the specific type of spark plugs used in the 3 valve 5.4 engine, I have a 2006 with the 5.4 and really needed the tool for the ones that broke. Changing the plugs closest to the fire wall on your 97 is a pain but this tool will not help. Being a contortionist might!
