Consumer Description

THE SPARK PLUG LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE RIGHT CYLINDER BANK OF A 6.8 LITER GASOLINE ENGINE WAS EJECTED. THE SPARK PLUGS IN THIS ENGINE HAVE NEVER BEEN CHANGED TO MY KNOWLEDGE SO THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF IMPROPER TORQUING PROCEDURES. THE ENGINE HAD BEEN OPERATING PROPERLY AND VERY SELDOM HAS GONE OVER 70 MPH. ACCELERATION AT THE TIME OF FAILURE WAS LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWING. NO FIRE ENSUED ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A FAINT GASOLINE ODOR UNDER THE HOOD RIGHT AFTER I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. THE FAILURE WAS OBVIOUS BECAUSE THE SPARK PLUG AND ATTACHED COIL PACK WAS LYING ON TOP OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. THE FORD DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THESE ENGINES. *TR
