Ford dumping spark plugs in favor of focused light?

who gives a fuck its lazer beemz pew pew

I must rep you for this and steal it for my sig as well. Haha

I do think this is stupid though. If one of these go out, I'm sure its going to cost at least a couple hundred or more per cylinder while spark plugs start at $2.

I can attest that Ford cant even align body panels correctly. They changed the heads in my car in 08 because spark plugs were known to break off and get stuck when trying to replace them. They need to step the fuck away from lasers before they kill someone

In your V6 mustang?

In your V6 mustang?

Not so much


I believe they changed the head for all 3v modulars. I don't know about the v6 though.

Do you have forced induction? Whats the factory torque spec on the heads?

No forced induction. I wish lol. The heads? or the spark plug? The spark plug should be 25ft/lb. The good news is that there's a tool out there to get the plug out. The bad news is that it happens so often, there's a tool out there to get the plug out.

I'd get one of those and when the cop pulls me over I'd tell him the damn lasers are misfiring.

thats pretty bad...also expensive.

I meant the factory head torque specs. I'm assuming theres 4 bolts per cylinder. Also, what kind of head gasket?

[edmel89]

im still waiting for tires, brake pads, cv joints, and a few other things that dont ever need to be replace.

but we all know if that happens the parts company would be out of business sooner or later.

but really with all the amazing technology in the world, some things that are still used in cars today kinda makes me wonder...?

am i alone on this? or should i piss everyone off with another advice thread?

[markzeronine]

hahah ford has a broken spark plug removal tool

Yeah the spark plugs are about $16-$20 a piece as well. So about $150 just in spark plugs.

Oh I don't remember what the torque specs are off hand honestly. Metal head gasket.
