Ok, I know this is a little dumb question but I want to check the sparkplugs and make sure they are tighten enough as some people said that the v8 has problems with them getting loose, so where are located the sparkplugs and how much should I tight them, just with my hands and then a little bit with the tool, I dont want to strip them, I have changed some before but it was on old dodge cars with the 318. Pics of the location would be great too.

Thanks man, I'll try that, I did another search, my first one was in one word only and couldn't find anything, so my second I found this thread that says that I need to put locktite on them, it seems like its more of a pain to check those plugs than what I tought.

I read something about putting Loctite on the threads also but most people said not to do this.I believe this was for Explorer heads also.Now is a good time to get a torque wrench.This way you can tighten them without worrying about stripping the threads.I would use anti seize on the threads instead of Loctite.

I think I'll let ford do the job, if something happen at least I wont be the guy to blame just to void my warranty, I'll wait till the warranty is over.
