[QUOTE="DontGetBit, post: 3582048, member: 21960"] I agree with the statement about the plugs being torqued properly, but you must check them often. I did not do so and take 90% of the blame for this issue. I hate to say, but my plugs have/had 30K+ plus miles on them and I neglected to check them. However, I do blame Ford for designing a supercharged engine or any engine for that matter with only 4 threads to hold the spark plug. [url]http://www.timesert.com/html/triton_repair.html[/url] So is this the kit that you used to repair your plug issue? I just can not justify spending $2k+ on a new head and labor at this time. Also, with the engine out I might as well do long tubes, cooling mod, clutch, etc. The list and costs could go on and on. I have been contemplating selling the car anyway, but just can not bring my self to do so. I think the easy fix will work for now and if I keep the car, I will eventually build the engine. [/QUOTE]
