Well, that might be bad. How much longer? Have you checked the threads in the head yet?
Think I got it guys. Thank you! Looks like I need a new coil and another set of plugs. Hopefully thats it
yea i'm thinking its bad ! if it's the correct part number manufactured wrong he might be getting a new engine !
That is a coil boot that is broken. Before doing anything else, check the threads in the head. If the plug made contact with the piston due to being too long and was forced out, you might have bigger problems.
your piston hit that plug and drove it out. how bad is unknown. check the part number on that plug !
For edjumacation purposes what happens when the piston slaps the plug like that?
It could simply close up the ground strap, push the plug and threads out of the head or knock a hold in the piston, and anything in between.
Thanks I didn't realize it could knock a hole in the piston. Threads in head I was aware that was a big problem with the V10s. Damn good idea to check those plugs before installing.
thats exactly why I told him to look at the part number on that plug ! if it's marked wrong they are going to owe him a new engine. if it's the wrong number not a xp985 it's on him for not checking it before he installed it....
yea, it's not good, if it would of just closed up the ground strap it wouldn't of pushed the plug out !
Not sure which piston it was, but if you can see into the hole where the plug used to live, take a peak with a flashlight and see if you can see what the top of the piston looks like. That and the threads in the head.
And if that plug was too long, the rest might be too. Hopefully all it did was smash the plug and spit it out.

You guys kick ass, thank you! Letting her run for awhile and make sure there’s no codes. Seems good to go 
even the one that blew out ? that was too long ! if so I suggest taking it to a shop and at least getting that cylinder boroscoped to see how bad of hit that piston took and how bad it's damaged, so if necessary you can file a claim with autolite ....DO NOT THROW THAT PLUG AWAY !!!!!!
