How often will plugs pop out of V10s?

Well, there are articles online that say until the V10 was redesigned with three valves, the plugs were more prone to failure. I think I found comments like that here as well when I was contemplating buying the truck in 2011. But it was a great deal with low mileage and I wanted to try something other than the Powerstroke.

After much research and assistance here on this great forum, I learned that if they are replaced every 50K miles, and torqued to 22 ft lb., there should be no problems with plugs being spit out.
NOTE: I also used some anti-seize when I replaced mine a few months ago. I also replaced all boots / springs with Denso from Rock Auto

I have a 2000 with the V10, 171k on the clock. I had a spark plug blow out on me one morning on startuparound 165k. The guy I bought the truck from only had one blow out in the 150k he owned it. The one that blew out for me thanks to some aluminum anti seize the threads did not come out with it, so I was able to thread it back in.
I've had to install one Helicoil because when I changed the spark plugs they all came out, but one didn't go back in.
I check my spark plugs are torqued down atleast once a month during warmer months because I'm a tad bit paranoid But I love my V10, she's a trooper and all my Powerstroke buddies are impressed with the throttle response and how well it runs for being 17 years old.

i believe it contributed to the spark plug not taking the threads with it. The spark plug clearly hasn't been torqued down, all the other spark plugs were loose, that was error of the previous owner
