Blown out spark plug
I would guess that the Ford heads are aluminium?
My question is are the plugs blowing out because:
A: Have been over torqued?
B: Is the aluminium corroding at the threads, maybe like some kind of electrolis?
Loose plugs I think would be noticeable, by sound and performance.
Just some thoughts!

I've also read not to use Helicoils ... to do something else. But, I don't know.
I was between a rock and a hard place, and I had to pay Ford to replace the head real quick for me.
