CalVan Tools 38900 Two Valve Ford Triton Tool Kit - Foolproof Repair System, Spark Plug Thread Repair Kit. Tools and Equipment

Best kit I could find. Reasonably priced. Fast shipping.

Incredible kit and very easy to use

There was a lot of disclaimers on youtube, saying calvan tools products off of Amazons. Has no quality control over the inserts. They where claiming when you installed the inserts it wasnt popularly threaded. So it was likely to get stuck in the cyclinder head. Well i didnt wrong into this problem. I drill out the old threads & tap the news ones. As well as enter the new insert with no problem at all. So calvan tools is awesome & great to use.

Watch on line videos, and the repair is straight forward. Youll also need an endescope, high temperature locktite and an air wrench.

took only 15-25min. to o one cylinder easier than I taught

Funny as it may sound, I was actually awarded a medal during my time in the Navy for drilling and tapping holes. That is no lie, though we all know it proves nothing except that I may have tapped a hole or two in my life. Long story short, THIS TAP WILL BREAK with torque being applied by a life-long mechanic holding a stubby ratchet made by the most reputable tool sales company in the country. Proper tapping technique WILL NOT MATTER. Then youll have to pull the head on your F150 and extract said tap with nothing but a couple of picks supplied by the aforementioned quality tool manufacturer. Then Cal-Van will offer to sell you a replacement tap for $55 and a week out on delivery so you can complete the hole. Whatever you do, dont use an air ratchet to tap the hole as they so kindly suggest. If yer not no dumm dude, look elsewhere and buy a different kit. Since this review is meant to be informative, the size of the tap in this kit is 3/4 -16, NF. I assume youll need that information sooner or later.

Bought for my boyfriend to use on his excursion. He tried different inserts, that worked for years. Same spark plug blew and he found this kit. He said it was easy to use and worth the money. Great Quality and easy to use for those that can work on their vehicles.

We had the Ford Triton 6.8 V10 blow out the number 3 spark plug with only 70k miles on the engine. After doing some research we determined that the best system to repair the plug hole with the engine still in our E-450 RV was the Cal-Van Tools 38900. We did try having it fixed by a local mechanic who used the Dorman 42025 Spark Plug Thread Repair Kit, against our better judgement but we were trying to maintain a schedule. The repair didnt work and the cylinder leaked immediately. At least the mechanic refunded us the cost of his repair attempt but without a mechanic who uses the Cal-Van system available it was up to us to do it ourselves. We used Ron Williams on YouTube to learn all about the installation, Cal-Van should be sponsoring this guy, and we bought an inspection camera to complete the job. We also replaced the other nine spark plugs while we had access and torqued the new plugs to 22 lb-ft with anti-seize. Back on the road and the repair is working great! We have complete confidence in this repair system and would recommend it as the best way to repair the common issue on Fords Triton 2 valve engines of blowing out spark plugs.

Purchased it to avoid having to remove the head of my 2001 Ford Expedition, easy to use and worked great. Ive had no misfire codes and engine runs like new.

Very easy to use hardest part is blowing the shavings out of the cylinder
