Purchased a 1999 Winn with the Ford V-10. Blew a plug out in Twin Falls,ID. Mechanic said the early V-10 & V-8 engines with Aluminum Heads had this problem. Also told me that 2 other plugs had been repaired prior to my ownership. I'm told the only fix is the replace the heads. Been looking at Banks products, but haven't bought yet.

I would guess that it would be less expensive to pull the heads, do a valve job, install all eight heli-coils, and replace the heads rather than buying all new heads.
