The Ford spark plug problem (plugs blowing out of the head) was in the very earliest versions of the motor. Simply the casting was too thin and not enough threads. Any later version, problem solved.
My 2001 is a "later version".

The Ford spark plug problem existed for several years and included the 2 valve engine, that suffered from blow out, AND the newer 3 valve engine that used a two piece spark plug, which if removed without using the proper procedure and a special tool, also caused a major/expensive problem.

2006 and 2007 3 valve V-10 has the spark plug that can break into 2 parts if removed sometimes, its not expensive to repair, they sell a tool for $100 to remove the broken part in motor, it can not fall into the motor/piston area, the new plugs now are better and never break apart.

I plan to replace mine in a 07 before 50,000 miles to the upgraded plugs..

Here's a video on tips to remove the plugs
