Hey everyone. Good to be here. I got a 97 F-150 4.6L with a problem. The #6 spark plug galley keeps filling up with coolant every few months and causing the cylinder to die. I have to pull the plug and dry it off then it's fine for a while. I'm thinking head gasket or a crack somewhere. I can't see much when I look down the hole. It's not coming from above. Anyone else have a similar problem? Any help would be great. Peace!

Look at your heater hoses really close. The F150s had a problem with them leaking into the spark plug holes exactly as you are describing. It would be really hard for a head to leak coolant into them.

the one that usually leaks is on the back let side of the motor.

I know about that flaw. It's not coming from a hose. It's not dripping from up top. The exteroir of the motor is dry. No leaks at all.

Ty

well, the coolant hose problem is always related to the #6 cylinder in all of the cases I have read about

I'm curious how this is possible because the coolant hose is on the passenger side of the truck. You're thinking about #4.

Ended up being the intake mainifold gaskets. I'm surprised nobody knew that.
