Angry Noise @ Start & Bad #2 Plug

#1) My 98 4.6 Expedition makes a funny noise only in the morning when you start it. It sounds like a grinding metal on metal. if you turn it on and off and back on again it will make the same noise about three to four times. after that you wont hear it until the next morning.


#2) The next problem i am having is my #2 spark plug keeps fouling about once every 2-3 weeks. i have hade a tune up 10k ago new plugs, wires, injector cleaned and i have always run castrol 10-30 synthetic. Any idea?
