Hi
I installed some Bosch Platinum+4 spark plugs in my 03 GT at least 6 months ago. One of the plugs striped the thread out my cylinder wall. A mechanic told me it was because those spark plugs are the wrong size for my car and told me to change them...
Is that true, because i have friends with them and they haven't had any problems b4. Plus they fact that they make them just for the car would make me think that they should be correct. I want to think it was my fault during installation more than anything else.
He also quoted me a $200 charge to fix just the one cylinder. Is that a good deal?
I would really appreciate any help on this matter from someone who know about this subject.
Thank you.
