Does this look typical? (blown plug)

[QUOTE="T800, post: 12002958, member: 130230"] Word. I can see why they go that route...but it definitely makes you sweat balls. Agreed. I thought/expected the worst. It's kinda funny with this particular car. I thought I needed a major front end rebuild...turned out to be a freak tire from Goodyear. Thought my oil cooler needed rebuilt...tightened the filter post to spec, good as new. This latest plug/head issue...so far so good. It has been an emotional roller coaster for sure. ALL maintenance on this car has been done by Ford(minus oil changes, I'm paranoid about those and do them myself). I take good care of it, don't beat on it. But, when it's time to race...all bets are off and I hammer that thing. Thanks man, posts like yours gave me some hope that I might end up ok. That and the fact that the Service Manager at the dealership said they do tons of them and have never had a single one come back. Don't know how I feel about Ford needing to do "tons" of 'em...but the not coming back part sounded good. To be honest to everyone reading, I had resigned myself to pretty much being screwed and had big plans for a badass powerplant, revised heads, etc. A little disappointed it turned out ok. ;-) [/QUOTE]
