So is there a class action law suit?
Seems like a bigger problem than the intake manifold.
Lawsuit?Ford states there is no "problem"
when i did the plugs, bosch single platinum, i torqued them to 32lbs i think (whatever you guys said on here) and it was a freshly calibrated wrench from autozone, and then a week later i retorqued them. the stock plugs had ~45k on them, and these have ~5k on them. i talked to a mechanic shop today in corona, CA, called Bob's Auto, and he said he can put in a new "sleve" with a reemer kit that taps right into the stock head, without removing the head, for a TOTAL of $300.00, and i will never have to worry about the plug again. he was telling me that this is a kit the dealer doesnt want anyone to kno about, and he has done it on many ford trucks and mustangs. should i try this and if it doesnt work then go aftermarket??? thanks for all the help so far...stangnet FTW!!
32lbs seems like way too muchI will stick with 13.

No, the stealership will not warranty the work against this type of problem. There is atleast one thread on Stangnet somewhere a guy had a Ford dealership change his plugs, one blew out later and they would not cover it.
I think the most important parts about changing your plugs on a stang are
1) Change them with a COLD engine.
2) use a small amount of anti-seize
3) use a torque wrench and torque them to spec (don't guess)
4) recheck the tightness every few thousand miles or so.
