problem #1

Jun 022015

Mountaineer 4.6L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

Very poor head design. The engineers had to have the foresight to know this problem would arise after the vehicle is out of warranty. The plugs do not require replacement until 100k. By then the spark plugs are well on their way to becoming seized in the head making replacement very expensive and time consuming.
