I don't know where some of these guys are getting their info,but the plugs blowing out of the heads is a BIG problem.I've had three Tritons towed to my shop which had the crap beat out of the coil pack from the plug blowing out.That's only my smaller shop!
Think about it.Why are so many companies making a thread repair kit just for Tritons?
Also,the front two cylinders on both sides are candidates for a repair in the vehicle,but the rear (#4 incl) are impossible unless you take the cab off.If it's the big Expedition,you guessed it,the body has to come off!!
Some of the heads were junk from the factory because of too few threads for spark plugs.Ford supposedly knew this,but let 'em go out anyway.
I was never a Ford fan to begin with,like them less every day when working on them.
