Description of the problem	Had minor ticking noise - was told this is typical in this ford engine. 16 months ago i had the dealer replace the spark plugs, ticking was still there, and just last week one of the plugs blew out of the head. Luckily no accident or injury. This could be quite dangerous having a plug sparking with fuel vapors escaping from the hole where the plug used to be. After talking to a number of f150 owners - found this is a rather common problem. Why no recall? Dealer installed spacer insert rather than helicoil. Rather expensive repair, and if it happens again, will need new head. *cn
