Description of the problem	I own a ford f150 5. 4l lariat 4x4 that recently had a blown plug in #4 cylinder. My truck has 9200 miles on it. I was driving down the road when this happened. I drove the truck to a ford dealer on all 8 cylinders for a tune-up and advised of what had happened. They acted oblivious to the problem and supposedly their 20 yr tech could not get the 4th plug back in all the way when he was supposed to be changing the plugs. I later found that "blow bys" in the ford 5. 4l engine is actually very common. The mechanic at the ford dealer totally stripped the #4 cylinder and ford wanted to charge me $2700 to replace the head. I took my truck to a private shop and had stainless steel sleeves put in all 8 cylinders, since the problem is due to the heads being aluminum and the plugs being steel. When these 2 dissimilar metals expand and contract at different tempatures, causing the plugs to eventually work their way out. How do we get ford to own up to their design issue and stop passing on the problem at the consumers' expense?*ak
