[QUOTE=crysalis_01;8703650]Yeah, the 2v's had 4 plug engagement threads, so plugs would shoot out of the heads from time to time. Had to helicoil a head for my brother's 99GT.

My 03 5.4l Expedition shot one out about 4 yrs ago. $500+ for thread repair from dealership. And another a yr ago. $35 kit from the auto store and repaired myself. Need a payout for the 2 valve heads too.
