Its official (as you guys dont already know) bosch has set an all new low for me.
2yrs ago my buddy swapped out plugs and dumb sales greedy store clerks hoaxed him into bosch plugs over stock replacements. 2yrs later, ...the plug blows out taking the coil pack with it....I say to him "ok, this is very normal with Ford PI heads because only 4 threads in the spakplug hole and being over torqued when reinstalling new plugs. No big deal, we get the retread kit...fix you right up!"
He proceeds with "not happening, the sparkplug is still in the head! Its the ceramics that are missing. I going to pull the rest out and go from there".
Long story short, the bosch plug gave up, dropping the electrode and blowing the rest out like a spit ball through a straw leaving the steel body still locked in the head,..... taking the coil pack out also. Now the cylinder will not hold any compression! Car is a 1999 30th Gt with 75,000miles. ...do I need to add how pissed this guy is! A $5plug destroyed his baby.....HEY BOSCH.....YOU SUCK!!
So now the car is on my lift getting dismantled and he has ok'd the engine rebuild to be improved upon
