In a previous video we had a look ata T&C that came in with a rusty oil pan and a misfire. Easy fix, just needs a coil and some plugs. What could go wrong? Hold my coffee….
-Enjoy!

Great video! Seeing that spark plug break on #5 had me at a photo flashback to 2014 when I was working at a shop and had to do a tune up on a 98 Ford Explore with the 5.0L engine. The nightmare was the spark plugs were heavily rusted on the head! I first tried using penetrating oil then went to using some heat. But to no avail, 7 of the 8 spark plugs broke off at the porcelain end of the body so the electrode was still in the cylinder head chamber. I didn't have that special too to extract them out and nor did anyone in the shop had it either, so I basically punched the electrode end into the chamber and used a small thin saw to cut the plug body out in halves and then extract whatever was in the chamber with long tweezers and a air gun. It was a very long process but luckily I didn't have to chase the threads but I still used a chaser just to clean them up real good before installing the new plugs in. In the end, They were the original spark plugs with the original numbered wires. This vehicle had nearly 170K on it! I was real hot after all that and wanted to go after that customer for letting it go that far!
Really surprised no anti-seize on the plugs
Great video. And yummy looking deer meat. Making me hungry. Glad I made jerky a few days ago.
the best
The only thing better than the day after lunch on venison fillets, is the day of, on venison fillets. I've diced them and browned them over charcoal, on a spit not 3 hours after harvest. Nothing more tender than the fillet from a young deer!
Good going Mrs. O!
Eric – did you use any lube on the spark plug threads?
The hoof GP!!
Replacing oil pan to prevent EPA disaster on the bottom end, celebrating oil leak on the top end to avoid reach-around woes. It's a topsy-turvy world these days.
Eric "Magic Man" O with the spark plug wizardry. And, "You can't ugga dugga with an electric gun." No truer words have ever been spoken.
Sad state of affairs living in the salt zone when you car rusts away before it’s paid off. Don’t know how ya do it with all the corrosion.
