John T said: (quoted from post at 21:23:06 09/17/12) Okay, so I look at Class C (Cab over van) RV's a lot and the hugeeeeeee majority are powered by the Ford V 10. (I currently have a 454 FI Chevy with the 4L80E Overdrive Tranny which I love) I read and heard so many horror stories about that engine and the attempt to bring a Class Action suit against Ford due to spark plugs blowing out of the heads and Im looking for experiences and first hand in depth knowledge of how bad (if so) or maybe what years of manufacture prior to a fix those engines really are and how their gas mileage stacks up against say a Chevy 454 V8. Ol John T and all

If its not a 3 valve engine I have not had issues,,,, Take the seats out and enjoy a day replacing plugs torque to spec....

The Tool if needed it can not be beat for blow out plugs....

I have the procedure to replace the plugs some were in a V10 van I can not find it now.... It does pay good and sit down werk :) I get 8hr. are you can take yer chit somewhere else I don't need the headache....

Make sure all the coils are plunged in good double check them... all the coils get new plug boots.... I don't make'em I just fix'em....

I found it...

Take the passenger seat out (4 bolts) put it back in the coach, now you have lots of room for your body comfort. If you are left handed maybe the driver seat would be better (I'm not sure about that as I'm right handed)

Remove the dog house. Unbolt the transmission filler pipe and carefully pull it toward yourself and move it to the right side out of the way.

Start unhooking the injector and COP harness (small screwdriver to release the clips) on cylinders 3;4;5;

Remove the air filter assembly for access to the front plugs on each side, then the unhook injector and COP harness on cylinders 1 and 2 along with the harness guide rails, and move the harness and guide rail (left) out toward the fender.

#5 plug is the best place to start as you'll be able to see everything as you do the work. Number 2 and 3 plugs are mostly by feel.

Start at # 5 plug and remove the COP, 7mm wrench, I have a small 1/4 inch drive socket set that works well, I've also used a 7mm box end spanner
