Note to self: If you ever buy a 3-valve Triton new, pull the plugs and apply the special anti-seize before it's too late.
That still is no guarantee it'll make a difference.. It's the threads that are exposed in the cylinder that get carbon'd up and form a 'bond' between the plug and the top of the head.. Think of the carbon as being a lock nut on the end of a bolt and until that's loosened up, you can't turn the bolt..
I waited and waited until they didn't offer the 3v 5.4 anymore! ;)
I loved my 97 F150 with the 5.4 in it, but hated changing the plugs!
