[QUOTE="Bill Barber, post: 820498, member: 57910"] Gavin i did read the TSB, (many times), it is an abortion. BUT, if you follow the recomended procedure for plug removal, the issue most likly will not be an issue. I talked with my service manager at frontier ford today, he said it is an issue, but have not had any problems using the recomended removal techniques I talked with my stang tuner at the mustang ranch in San Jose, is an issue, but they have not had any problems. Dingo had no problems, I had no problems. We both followed the recomended removal procedures There is a procedure, and they have tools to deal with a problem if a plug should be broken. If it was me, and you are unsure of what you are doing, take the trac to the dealer, pay the toke to have the plugs changed to a one piece design (end of problem forever) Ford will never do a recall on this issue. The 3/5K cost will be if a hack do's the deed and the heads need to be removed, this will not happen 99.9% of the time. Get it done properly, no more worrys. [/QUOTE]
