Remedy for spark plugs blowing out of Ford Triton engines?

I have a 2000 ford F150 with the 5.4 Triton engine. It is approaching 100,000 miles and I am replacing the plugs and coils. Is there a solution or advice on how to prevent the spark plugs from blasting out at a later date? I have owned the truck 1 month and have recently read about this problem.Remedy for spark plugs blowing out of Ford Triton engines?Well, I suppose anythings possible if someone screws up bad enough. I'd be interested in knowing where you read this, and whether or not they found the reason. My guess would be they weren't properly torqued because they're hard to get at. A wobble-drive extension or 2 helps a lot. I've heard some people say you have to take the fuel rail off to get at them. But they just don't know any better.

Same experience with 2002 F-250 5.4 Triton. Ford 4.6 and 5.4 are notorious with only 5 threads in the aluminum head, the fix, remove plugs, clean carbon from threads and re torque to factory specs.

Remedy for spark plugs blowing out of Ford Triton engines?I have also heard of this happening, but I have never talked to anybody that has seen it first hand. I also heard that the problem was that the original motorcraft plugs were not threaded as far as they should have been.

I have put Autolite plugs in many of these engines and haven't ever had a problem. If they are properly tightened then you shouldn't have a problem either.

I usually replace the bad coil, plugs, and the boots on the rest of the coils. That seems to keep away any other problems.Remedy for spark plugs blowing out of Ford Triton engines?
