Hi I have a 5.4 and the spark plug has been repaired before with a m14x1.25 spark plug saver kit. That has now blown out and the only other kit I seem to find Is 400+ dollars do they make a kit that goes from the 14x1.25 to a bigger size single or would I have to buy the whole set. Any recommendations helps I really don't want to replace the head

Lisle makes a repair kit that contains the drill for enlarging the hole and the long thread inserts. I do them a lot and it works well. The kit is about 75 bucks and you can do it yourself.
