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

Worked great on my 99 f150. Fixed my #7 plug. I used heavy red grease on bit and tap for chips and vacuum afterwards.

works great

Worked perfectly

Over all easy to use however the tap did not have enough of a taper so it would not start. If I did not have a customer that needed his van I would have sent it back for that price one would expect it to be right. So instead I had no other choice but to add more of a taper on the grinding wheel. Worked perfect after that

I blew a spark plug in cylinder 4 near the firewall of my 2004 mustang gt. I bought a helicoil kit to patch things up like a band aid. That didnt last for long. So, I decided to shell out the big bucks for a true repair kit. I decided to go with this kit because several reviewers mentioned using it for their mustangs as well. The kit comes with all you need to accurately rethread a previously repaired hole. The thread inserts are excellent, theyre beefy and solid. They fit nice and snug in the tapped hole, with the help of some jb weld. I have yet to encounter any problems yet, if i do ill update.

Easy to use and works great! Giving 4 stars because the air plug that you use to put air through the motor had an odd sized fitting that wouldnt fit in any standard size air chuck. I had to cut a hose and push it up on the fitting and crank a hose clamp on it, but that worked. Making sure the valves are closed is highly important so -1 star for that. Watch the Ron Williams video on youtube. He actually uses this kit with the motor in the truck. Everything else was straight forward and easy to use.

This was a great product for what I needed. It wasn’t cheap. And it gets the job done. I’ve had no issues

Wow!! How many words am I limited to here? Blew out a previously helicoiled spark plug in my 2010 F150 4.6 ...and of course, this is a construction work truck - I have no time for it to be out of service! No truck, no income! I was considering swapping out the head with a reman but that hardly ever goes well with me, then thought about a reman or new crate engine ( this has 208k miles on it)..all this lead to a lot of research looking for a solution. Fact: despite the fact that the plug itself has gobs of threads, Ford only uses 4.5 of them!!! And undertorques them at 12 ftlbs!!! No wonder _ a lot_ of folks experience a plug shooting out! Helicoils, usually an effective repair, don’t work here, because the only engage a few threads and have no head material that engages its locking mechanism. Calvan- a long time maker of automotive tools devised a complete repair kit that allows you to ream out the old threads, rethread to a larger diameter and install a stainless steel insert that uses about an inch of threads to hold it in place. Total time to install? About an hour for the first one ( this included a call to a great guy in SoCal who does nothing but these repairs, and has some specific additional advice- find him on you tube) and 25 minutes for the second . Caveats - gotta have a high torque 3/8 air ratchet; certainly some automotive skill, a feel for tools ...and some machining experience is helpful - you cannot be ham handed with this! The cost of the kit, which will do 8 holes, about $275 is very reasonable given the cost of going other routes, and it’s of a machinist quality. What a lifesaver!!!! Has 5k on the repair now....

The product has grease all over it and metal shavings. It appears was used. Very disappointed.

Worked great on my 2002 F250 V10. Had a spark plug blow out that already had the smaller insert installed. It came out of the head with the spark plug.
