I'm thinking that Im just going to torque them to 14 ft/lbs this time around since they are low milage plugs. The next time around, in about 30,000 miles, the plugs will have 50,000 on them and I will change both the plugs and the boots. You do have to wonder why ford would have only put 3 threads in an ALUMINUM head. However, in my opinion, I bet 99.9% of the v10 engines out there havn't blown a plug. But just to be safe rather than sorry, I want to torque them down. A few minutes of my time is worth it if I can prevent a 600+ dollar garage bill.
