I don't know where some of these guys are getting their info,but the plugs blowing out of the heads is a BIG problem.I've had three Tritons towed to my shop which had the crap beat out of the coil pack from the plug blowing out.That's only my smaller shop!

Some of the heads were junk from the factory because of too few threads for spark plugs.Ford supposedly knew this,but let 'em go out anyway.
I was never a Ford fan to begin with,like them less every day when working on them.
