I had to spent 7,500 for the Ford dealership to replace my engine that spit spark plug and they tried to helio-coil to put another plug in but the cylinder was dead. It had no compression. Instead of having them try pull the heads off and recondition and see if that was the problem or did part of the spark plug get down the cylinder and ruin the piston and rings.
My decision was don't go down the road of try this, try that, fix this, fix that. My decision was "F***K it!! Buy me a factory crate motor and replace it." and at the time, nobody at Ford told me this was an inherent problem with the Triton Motors. I just thought a spark plug got loose burnt the threads and spit the plug, but it seems that their engineering cause a situation where there aluminum heads and aluminum spark plugs and Ford, never said anything to anybody.
According to things that I have read, they had motors spitting spark plugs. I liked my van and it will be worthless with no motor. My only choices were let the mechanic to start trying this, try that or get a factory motors. My van only has 68k miles, even though it is eleven years old. I have been a Ford van driver since 1972. The ride of the Ford van is very positive as opposed to a Chevrolet, Dodges they like to float on the road because of their suspension.
Ford knew they had problems with their engines spitting spark plugs and they say nothing. they try to say the spark plugs were incorrectly torque. The truth is they had an engineering problems with their spark plugs with aluminum threads and the aluminum heads. My van runs great can I expect it will spit another plugs in 68k miles? I guess I'll see. I love the ride of my Ford van, but I hate thinking it will spit another plug soon to come!
Cordially,
Dale
