It’s also been reported plugs that loosen while installed may “blow out” taking the
threads with them. This is one critical instance when the exact torque value of 11 ft/lbs

Changed my plugs today. 82000 Miles on them and YEP, broke (2) one on each side. Tried the Ford tool that uses Loctite bond, what a POS. If you have one THROW it in the garbage. Get the Lisle (2) step and WALA all is out and ready to go in short order. Replaced with the Autolite equivalent and proper anti seize and all is well.
