OT- Ford Triton woes, plugs blew out Options

[guywan914]

Has anyone heard of problems with the triton v-8 blowing the plugs out of the heads? I have had two different trucks F-250, E-350 where with no warning the #2 on one and
#3 on the other blew the plugs right out of the head . Ford is no help because the trucks have 56000 and 95000 miles on them. Tech at Ford garage said they developed a special repair for this {Helicoil or Threadsert} and that just sounded like there has been a lot more than just my two trucks.

Its bound to happen to all of them.... my last job was next to a Ford dealer, and I heard my share of 'em. Now at my current shop we do mostly mustangs but a few trucks. The automotive repair industry has come up with many fixes for this problem. The repair is simple if you can get the right parts, the problem is that ford went and made a really bad design for the plug and normal "heli-coil" and "timeserts" wont work even ones made for "sparkplugs". If your going to just repair the one then you have to use one that works with the normal oem sparkplug. Or what we do is repair all of them with the timesert style and use another redily available plug (champion R9YC *performance plug*).
