Consumer Description

ON THE DAY LISTED BELOW MY 1999 FORD F150 WITH A TRITON 5.4L V8 ENGINE EJECTED A SPARK PLUG FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD. UPON INSPECTION BY A MECHANIC IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THREADS IN THE CYLINDER HEAD FAILED. THE COMPRESSION IN THE CYLINDER THEN EJECTED THE SPARK PLUG. AFTER THE SPARK PLUG WAS EJECTED AND BEFORE I COULD GET STOPPED THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. WHICH I ASSUME WAS CAUSED BY THE OPEN CYLINDER AND FUEL BEING EXPRESSED THROUGH THE SPARK PLUG OPENING. *AK
