ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
APRIL 2ND OF 2004 DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND COASTING TO A STOP SIGN THE NUMBER 3 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE CYLINDER HEAD OF MY 1999 FORD F-350 WITH A V-10 ENGINE IN IT. FORD IN KINGMAN,AZ. INSTALLED A RECONDITIONED CYLINDER HEAD THAT HAD A SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT OF IT AND A STEEL INSERT WAS THE FIX FOR THAT CYLINDER HEAD. I WAS GIVEN A RECONDITIONED HEAD WITH THE INSERT IN IT AND TOLD BY THE FORD MECHANIC IN KINGMAN,AZ. THAT IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT BLOWS ANOTHER SPARK PLUG OUT OR SUCKS THE STEEL INSERT INTO THE ENGINE. I SINSERLY HOPE I'M NOT 100 MILES FROM ANYWHERE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I ALSO HOPE IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL TRYING TO HELP SOMEONE. THIS IS A VAST PROBLEM AND CAN EASILY BE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET BY SIMPLY TYPING IN "FORD V-10 ,SPARK PLUG". FORD KNOWS THIS IS A CASTING PROBLEM WITH THE ALUMINUM HEADS HAVING ONLY 3 THREAD COUNT IN EACH CYLINDER HOLE HOLDING EACH SPARK PLUG IN. *AK
