There are a number of professional ways to achieve this task.
I have not done this personally...however 1 important thing is to keep the zone around #3 clean
of foreign particles...Get a vacuum to clean the area and keep it clean until you can
determine you choice of attack.
It really depend on how badly you the port is stripped.
I am sure others will give some personal experience, if not
check w/some professional ASE mechanics that have done this
type of repair.
It can generally be done....do your research 1st. before you jump
at the first result.

Go checkout at www.crownvic.net, and search the forum. Several Ford and Mustang forums have info on this problem. As wizzard1222 said, do your research. If you want to try this on your own, okay. If you prefer for someone else to do it, choose a reliable mechanic. And that doesn't necessarily mean a dealership.
Yes, it can be fixed at home WITHOUT removing the heads. But do your research first on how this is done.
