Marson Ford Triton Plug-Saver Kit (98140T)

The Marson Ford Triton Plug-Saver Kit (98140T) is a precision-engineered repair system designed to restore stripped or damaged spark plug port threads in 2-valve 4.6L, 5.4L, and 6.8L Ford Triton engines that use taper-seat spark plugs. The kit repairs M14-1.25 spark plug threads without requiring the cylinder head to be drilled.
