March 16, 2007. V8 (5. 4l) I began to hear a loud popping sound under the hood. The back passenger side spark plug had blown out. My 1999 v8 5. 4 had blown the spark plug ceramic portion out of the head. I made it home driving it like that (5 miles) and had a mechanic look at it. He said this was a common event for the Fords. He is now going to try to heli-coil the plug hole to save me a head job, tho he's having problems due to the location of the plug. Now checking the web I see there are many many. . . Of Fords with the same problem the fed has even urged Ford to fix and recall this problem. . .

1999 Ford f150 4. 2 liter v-6 engine. Only 52,000 miles and blown engine. Starts blowing steam out of exhaust, then engine starts knocking and ties up because of hydro lock. Coolant in cylinders locks engine. This is a very well known problem that Ford will not back up costing consumers thousands of dollars. All starts with a defective intake manifold gasket which cannot be detected until it's to late. Thousands of complaints about the same engine from 1997 till ????, who knows if they are any good now. Someone needs to address this issue.

Engine hydro-lock. I own a 1997 E-150 conversion van. It has the 4. 2l v-6 engine. I have had to have the intake manifold gasket replaced along with the water pump and gasket and also timing gear gasket. All due to a faulty intake manifold gasket. Ford replaced this in the v-8 model cars due to reading a lawsuit about it on their site. I have read in many forums that I'm not alone in this costly repair. I contacted Ford to be told that the lawsuit did not pertain to my van. . Read more...
