Buy it, put new motorcraft plugs torque them to correct torque and forget about it. I had 228k on my previous Ex with no issues here. The other issue that the V10 has its known for cracked exhaust manifold bolts. Again not a big deal, other than that it was my most reliable vehicle ever owned.

Yep. Tires or ball joints are likely to cost much more than you will ever spend on the engine itself.

No offense intended, but it really isn't like that. You CAN know, all it takes is a little proper maintenance on the plugs (proper torque on a cold engine) and you'll be fine.
