“Ford f250 2001 6.8 v-10 spark plug blow out I just had two of my ten plugs blow out on my 2001 f250 gas 6.8 v-10 with 161k miles. I tuned up the engine at the recommended 100k miles using the specified procedures for this engine. I knew there was a problem with this engine and was extremely careful during the tune-up and plug replacement. I am a certified aircraft mechanic with faa inspection authorization. I used a certified torque wrench to install the plug with the correct torque. There was no error in technique or installation on this spark plug replacement. …”
