Praying to the ford gods... Send me some luck guys. Sitting at the speed shop now getting my plugs changed alone with a few other fun goodies! Ran Injector cleaners and fuel treatments through the last 4 tanks and Seafoamed it last weekend. Hope none break!

55K....Hardly had any smoke when I seafoamed it so im guessing there isnt to much of a carbon buildup.

It could be the guy taking them out is not following the TSB instructions. You can't just take those things out like on any old car or truck. You have to have patience and do it slowly. Back and forth, back and forth, slooowwwly, and spray penetrating oil down in there. I didn't break any on mine and I had 98K miles on mine.

He just pulled the jacket from the cylinder that the porcelin came out in so 2 of the 8 plugs are 100% out. He's getting all porcelin out of the broken plugs so he can extract the other 6. THank god im not at the dealer... I'd be so screwed there!
