well to start off went to ocean city about 300 miles away and onthe way back 3 miles from my house it sounded like I blew a manifold gasket. Went to advance auto bought new ones changed both sides same noise. (the noise sounds like a poorly tuned harley davidson) Took the engine cover off to find a sparkplug laying there. looked around and sure enough found it #3 pass side. Once yet I can't find a helicoil and threadchaser big enough but still small at the top to go down our 4 inch or so long hole. SO I am ripping the heads out and putting in a set of 32 valve ones from a 04 cobra some kid totaled. And possibly that blower not sure if I can get it to fit though. Kind of a blessing in disguise. THANKS FORD FOR PUTTING IN CRAPPY ALUMINUM HEADS. Read the net there is a lot of other cases. People actually want to put a class action lawsuit agianist ford for this. So far the vehicles I know of are 99-05 150 5.4, and 4.6 triton, explorer 4.6, mustang 4.6 and 99-01 cobra, crown vic police interceptor and 4.6 pretty much it seems like to me is everything with a v8 and aluminum heads.
