I love that Andy committed so fully that this long after his death that its still generating content.
I wish they wouldn't have admitted he worked stuff out with lawler, just leave all the mystery in place
I think Andy would have wanted that.
We were wondering if Carrey and Lawler talked behind the scenes also. Lawler made it seem like they didn't, but who knows. I Lol'd at Zmuda going to the mansion as Clifton then getting thrown out when Carrey showed up. I wish they showed Heffners face.

The Ford dealer my father dealt with for fleet service charged $1500 for a tuneup on a 5.4. That included 2 rebuilt heads. They found it was quicker, and cost less, to just swap heads then dicking around with broken or stripped spark plugs.
I recently sold an Expedition after they gave me a quote. No way was I gonna pay that much on an SUV I only paid $1200 for, and after already rebuilding 2 trucks last year I didn't want the headache of doing it myself. I know how much work snapped plugs are. :-|

A ford tech told me the secret to doing them is to just crack the plug loose then fill the plug hole with carb cleaner and let them sit overnight. The carb cleaner loosens corrosion and the carbon buildup on the threads in the chamber. Then blow out the hole the next day and hit it with penetrating oil before pulling them. I did that to my 4.6 and they came out easy, but I've never heard of the 4.6 having plug issues.

I hose the plugs down with Kroil and let it sit overnight- they come out easy the next day
