Consumer Description

HEARD A LOUD POP FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GLOBE BOX AREA. THE ENGINE EJECTED A SPARK PLUG WHICH IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE FOR TRITON ENGINES WITH ALUMINUM HEADS - THREADS FAILED THAT HOLD THE SPARK PLUG IN PLACE. I DID NOT HEAR ANY WARNING SOUNDS THAT A FAILURE WAS IMMINENT. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE, SPARK PLUG CLOSEST TO THE FIREWALL WAS BLOWN OUT WHICH IS ALSO VERY COMMON. I SMELLED GASOLINE AND EXHAUST AND FORTUNATELY THIS FAILURE DID NOT RESULT IN A FIRE. *JS
