I have a 97 F-150 5.4 Triton. That has 340,000+ on her. I DID have one plug that popped out and is WAS right after I had the plugs changed at about 300,000. I was told that the thing that causes this is improper torque on the plugs. I took it to a local mechanic who put a Helicoil insert into the head. The head shouldn't have to be removed to do this. Consult a couple other garages before you get it done. I THINK the bill for is was only about $85. Ford has a special kit that they use to do this. No problems since!
