I have just retired from 45 years of twisting a wrench. I have been to many seminars, factory schools, etc. I have repaired many spark plug threads using this kit. I have never seen a better tutorial on this subject than yours. Thanks for restoring my faith in you tube tutorials, at least in yours.

I don't know squat about working on engines, but I used this exact kit and followed this guy's instructions on this video and it worked like a charm! Two years ago and it is still running great on the 4.6 L engine. I was just jacked out of my mind with excitement for doing this myself. FordTechMakuloco is THE BEST!!! Thank you so much!

[CtRacerX]

Bro, this was so effing thorough it should be mandatory subject matter for ASE- this was excellent

[BlakeBuchanan]

Being a fellow Ford guy I can say for all of us we are greatly appreciative of the information you provided us with the hands on side I watch your videos some times as a refreshing when I haven't done something in a while

[twistedrodgarage]

Man loco guy that video was spot on. Felt like a pro at it and never done it. Spend the money on the tool and you weren’t lying. It literally took me all of about 20 minutes ty

[DomCristante]

its amazing how much money, time and headache you have saved me over the years with your videos

[Beyondmybow]

1excellent video . Here’s a few tips that aren’t covered.
1) never use power to tap anything.
2) you should always turn the tap backwards 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn to break the new cut chips when you’re tapping the new threads that are accumulated in the flutes of the tap. Especially on aluminum. It takes one sliver to jam up on the new cut threads and destroy the threads you just cut.
3) use a non oil cutting agent . Loctite doesn’t like oil .
Just some tips from a machinist .

[nickadamson]

Thanks for this video. Bought the kit last year after watching it, repaired one that blew on me while driving and another that the PO used one of those terrible Dorman sleeves on. Worked like a charm and has been running great a year later with 12k+ miles on them.

Been doing this repair for years. This kit has never failed me yet!

[russellnotestine]

A guy could make a LOT of money knowing only this repair. Awesome video

[spydergto]

FordTechMakuloco you have saved me so many times i can not express my gratitude for the work you've put in here. Planet ford Spring Tx quoted me 7, 200 plus for one side head job. I am about to do this exact job come 8 am. Ive watched your videos on the 04-08 F-150 4.6 5.3 liters over numerous issues and you are pretty much solely responsible for keeping my Brownie on the road. thank you kind sir and keep up the hard work.

[ramhornjoe]

Thank you so much for posting this. Had a plug blow #7 on my wifes 2000 F150 with the 5.4 Triton. Just got my calvan kit today & not gonna lie I was a little nervous about tackling this project. You're video has made me feel more confident about the process.

[codyswilley]

I just ordered a calvan 38900 kit and it came in the mail yesterday. Can't wait to get started on this motor now that you have me a little more confidence.

[evelandjd]

I performed this repair with the kit recommended here. The day of the repair I started my 1, 278 mile trip from California back home. My 2000 F350 V10 hummed the whole way. More power, less engine noise. Great video, everything worked as you demonstrated. Thanks.

[camarz]

I didn’t need this video tutorial, but it was very well put together, simplified, and entertaining. I have an 01 Ford Lightning that the previous owner had to remove the heads in order to install inserts for this very problem. I’m glad to see that they have come a long way with kits that can fix these issues.

[getonlygotonly]

excellent instructional video, thanks, no extra nonsense talking like so many others seem to post here on youtube. this guy actually knows what he is doing and explains proper use of the proper tools needed to do the job properly. I'm an old fan of helicoil, but for this application, Calvan has put together an excellent kit at a very fair price to correct the problem that ford engineers built into these engines. keep up the great work makuloco.

[markgentry]

Although I know this a older video, I would like to thank you for making an excellent informational video. This may have taken you 15 min to complete but not me. My situation was worse, a 2013 E-350 cylinder 8 working outside. Doing all this in a van makes the process alot more demanding. My repair took me about 7 hours to complete with everything going wrong, but completed properly, now after sitting overnight the engine started and runs smooth,
Thank You.

You have an excellent pronunciation and accent.
I can understand all the words you speak.
