Spark plug suddenly blew out of the passenger side cylinder head while driving 65 miles an hour on the freeway. Had the car towed to the dealer and they wanted $3100 to put on a new cylinder head. Did some checking on the internet and found it was a common problem with that engine that has not been recalled. Took the car to another shop and had inserts put in for all 4 spark plugs on that head for $2000.

Spark plug blows out of aluminum head. This car has one of the most extensive service records paso robles Ford has on record; these are their words. In other words this vehicle has been maintained very very well and to have the plug blow out in the first place is uncalled for. Secondly we paid to have a remanufactered engine installed and a few weeks later the plug blows out again. This is supposed to be on what Ford calls a revised part to take care of plugs blowing out of the aluminum head. Ford will not give us a straight answer on what the revision is; this could be anything-possibly not even related to the problem. My understanding is the problem is that there are only three threads going into the aluminum head. Apparently the revision does not take this problem into account because it only took a few weeks for the exact same thing to happen.
