Took my Ford in for a 130K mile tune up, the FIRST one. Well the moron didnt tighten up one plug and eventually it blew out and took the threads with it. :banghead: :banghead: So I take it elsewhere, and shoulve asked for a NON chebbie mechanic, which I didnt :screwy: my mistake >:( and this is the way I got sabatoged again. Frickin chebbie guys always gotta sabatoge the Fords, frickin homos :mad: You all think this looks right ??? ???

jk, sorry about the issues with it!

Just cant believe they ran the insert that far down, was lucky the piston didnt have a hole in it :screwy:

that sucks :'( but at least you know a good machine shop :thumbup:

With 130,000 you're lucky that the plugs came out at all :screwy:
We get about a dozen Fords a year that have plugs blown out of the v8s & v10s. I've been told by a Ford dealer that using any other brand of plug has a lot to do with the plugs blowing out. I think it has more to do with improper torque in the aluminum heads.
Good luck with the repairs ;D

Ya crew I did some calling around, asking questions, and all I did get from them all was that the V10 engines have that problem, not the 5.4"s. They were all surprised when I said 5.4. Thanks for the good luck ;) I did have an exhaust leak, from where, who the hell knows, I looked and listened and couldnt figure it out, for the life of me. Well now I know where he hell it was coming from :mad: :mad: :mad:

They both have the problem, but I agree that it does seem to be more often in the V10. :screwy:

After looking at, looks like I will be needing to get another head :banghead:

where you will be replacing front rotors every 20,000 miles and front pads every 15,000. lol i have heard stories and seen the guy down the street with the front end up in the air. lol

In my 3/4T with shoes in the back I got about 45 - 55K and did always have to replace rotors but never from damage resulting from "pushing the limits".
New 1/2T Mega has 3/4T running gear and I am at 28K with lots left. But I drive the 91 to Corona everyday so I never drive faster than 30 mph unless I'm going to the river >:D

Knowing you ... Just wondering... can't u use Mitsubishi parts to fix that problem ? ,
like you did on your 460 heads. ;D ;D
