My mechanic called me the other day, and informed me that I had #6 spark plug blown out. My dilemma is HOW would a dealer correct this? The car is still under a ESP warranty, and the motor has never been modified. Are they going to go the cheapest route which I hear is a helicoil, or would they replace head? Could there be damage to the block? Im stressing, because the motor is stripped down right now, and I really dont want to pay to have the shop put it back to factory and tow to ford if all they are going to do is a Helicoil, which he can do at his shop. Thanks for the help.

it was said in another thread Ford states the only fix for a spark plug blow out is to replace the head, there is no options to helicoil it.
ESP should cover the head replacement. Read your policy for confirmation.
Probably not, other than the head. Unless it broke the plug up and then sucked in bits of it after blowing it out.
Question, they are giving me a new head, but should they do anything to the otherside? Car has 47,000 miles, would there be more pressure or tightness on one side? ALSO, they said one of the spark plugs on the pass side was coming out too. WTF is wrong with ford? Thank you!!! Oh yea, They sent the head with no head bolts........................................................................................................
