Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN A STREET AT APPROX. 40MPH I HEARD A BANG AND THEN A BUNCH OF AIR ESCAPING. SOUNDED LIKE AN EXHAUST LEAK. SPARK PLUG WAS BLOWN OUT OF NUMBER 2 CYLINDER. HAD REPAIRED AT LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, PUT IN A NEW HELI COIL. SINCE 7-6-09 HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME NUMBER 8 CYLINDER. THESE FORD ENGINES DON'T HAVE ENOUGH THREAD ON THE ENGINE HEADS TO HOLD THE SPARK PLUGS IN. IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO KEEP HAPPENING UNTIL ALL OF THE THREADS ARE REPLACED. *TR
