V-10 triton. I started hearing a ticking noise coming from the engine about 2 weeks ago. I had taken it to shop for unrelated work and they did not think it unusual. On 1/8/09, I heard a loud pop and then it started to sound like an exhaust leak coming from the engine. As the engine seemed to otherwise run ok, I drove it to a Ford dealer in snohomish where they diagnosed the problem as a spark plug ejected from the #4 cylinder. The plugs have never been changed, originally installed at the factory.
: the contact stated an odor of exhaust was detected. The vehicle was pulled over and exhaust was leaking between the engine head and manifold under the hood. The dealership determined the manifold bolts sheered off due to heat. New bolts needed to be drilled on the manifold.
