Spark Plug Problem
I have heard that 97-03 5.4L Triton engines have many problems with the spark plugs either blowing out, or breaking inside of the hole. What is a solution or a way to prevent this problem from happening? If i can get the plugs out i am going to replace the plugs with platinum plugs so they don't rust in place. Is this a viable solution or is there another known way of fixing this issue?

on the 97 to 2003 f150s with the 4.6 liter engines the spark plugs are only held in by 2-3 threads and if not torqued down just right it will shoot the plugs out of the heads

That is another thing i have heard about these trucks. I have heard that the 5.4 does it too. Has anyone had this problem with them?
