I'm looking at buying a '99 F150 w/ 87,000 miles, but got a heads up about the plugs. Plugs actually blowing out of the cylinder. Supposedly not enough threads on the heads. "the aftermath of the blown out of the hole spark plug is when the fun begins and gets expensive. That's when it costs over $3000 to repair when the head has to be removed - which Ford dealers are instructed to do rather than "fix" them "A quick google search on this problem now has me very, very leary. There was even an article that the State of California tried to sue Ford over this exact issue.

Is this engine really a time bomb ??

thanks, GR
