Thread: 5.4 2 valve spark plug tips?

Plan on having the spark plugs replaced sometime or maybe doing them myself ( using Motocraft plugs and cops ) I have heard like 4 different torque numbers for the plugs along with thread counts. It was made 9/4/02 if that helps. Use anti seize or dry? Can anyone find the CORRECT torque specs for my truck? Please? Thanks in advance

okay thanks

could you measure it in turns so I wouldn't have to deal with getting a torque wrench

oh okay, I'm just worried about them blowing out and having to get it rethreaded

And isn't your truck 3V since its an '03? Or was '04 the first year they changed that?

04 is when the 3v came out

I could have sworn they had it before then but ok, just makes the plug change a little easier for you lol.
