Consumer Description

FIRST NOTICED TICKING NOISE IN MY 2004 5.4L 3V V8 ENGINE. OIL WAS AT CORRECT LEVEL. I WENT DOWN A ROAD I ROUTINELY GO, AND STARTED HEARING A VERY LOUD CLANKING. SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE HOLE AND NOW TRYING TO FIX. HOPEFULLY WONT HAVE TO REPLACE THE HEAD. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS ENGINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM!! THIS IS JUST THE ONE CYLINDER, BUT I HAVE 7 MORE! AM I GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS WITH ALL OF THEM? I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WILL TRY TO FIX IT. OTHER REPAIR STATIONS SAY THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH IT AND THAT THEY HAD, OR HAVE BEEN THREATENED BY, A LAWSUIT FROM THE VEHICLES OWNER. THIS HAS ALREADY COST ME THE REPLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION COIL, A AN EXPENSIVE SPARK PLUG, AND A LOT OF DOWN TIME. *TR
