Spark plug blew out of the engine, stripping all the threads in the cylinder head.

Truck was parked overnight (no problems). Next morning, I started the truck. It sounded like a lawnmower trying to start with a loud "popping" noise. Smelt raw gas vapors coming from the top of the engine. Took to Ford to fix. They quoted me $3200 repair job by replacing a cylinder head. I refused and took to a (farther away) trustworthy mechanic to put a thread insert into spark plug hole and use a helicoi for approx $400. Ford refused to do thread insert repair, and wanted to sell me same part that broke in the first place.
