    How come the lisle tool says 3V engines? What 4.6's have you used them on? The Mustangs and Crown Victorias? Those were the 3 valve 4.6's, didn't have 3V 4.6 truck motors until '09.

    Not that I doubt you or anything, just curious.

    Its only the 3V 4.6's that have the plug issues, the 2V 4.6's dont.

    That's what I thought too, must have something to do with the configuration of it. And the 4.6 3V wasn't in the F-150 until '09. So I have the 2V and hopefully no plugs that break lol.

    Well gentlemen, I am currently sitting waiting for PB Blaster to do its wonders on the spark-plugs in my Dad's 08 5.4L. I turned them all out .25 turn, and threw the Blaster down there (I put plenty in....but I'm going to stick a paper towel in there to soak it all up right before i pull them)......it's been sitting since 6:30pm, and it's 8:15pm now. I think I'll just leave it until morning, and then finish it up. When I did the plugs in my 04 5.4L, I had 5 break off, but I got the good Lisle tool ($80 at Car-quest if I remember right), and only had one take me more than 5 minutes to get out (and that one only took me 20). Hopefully I don't need the tool, but if I do, I've got it sitting here! I'll try to get pictures and post up a "How-To" if I end up having to use it.
