2 Engine Exhaust System problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2015

The threads in my 07 Ford f 150 for my spark plug in one of my cylinder's went bad. And my plug leaked high pressure compressed heated exhaust. Causing my ignition coil to partially melt. Its right below the fuel rail sensor too. Its the biggest pain in the butt to fix. Used a helicoil. Didn't last too long. Trying a more permanent fix next. I was on the highway going 70 when the plug began a very noticeably loud rhythmic leak with the ignition of that cylinder. Also, when I saw the problem when I looked at the spark plug. It had already had an existing helicoil put in. And you could tell this happend way before 200k miles. Because the old spark plug was worn almost all the way down. I still have the old spark plug.
