Just wondering if anybody else is having a problem with the sparkplugs shooting out of the heads? Mine has done this twice once on the drivers side and now on the passanger side. The first time,Ford replaced the head on the side that blew out , they said the new head was stronger, but would not replace the passanger side because it was not broke (well guess what its broke now). Ford dealership was closed today for the holiday, but I will call first thing in the morning so they can come tow this in, and so I can pick up my cool loaner vechicle (last time it was a Windstar Mini Van that died at stoplights). I am not sure what it did to the spark plug but the center part now spins around, and the very top of the spark plug in gone!

Yeah, it's a relatively common problem on the 5.4L heads... You've got alot of company in the blown spark plug out the head crowd....
