I had the same thing happen to mine in 2020 while driving into work in downtown Austin. Had to tow it home which cost >$200.
Don’t know why some say there’s no problem, Ford even put out a TSB about it (TSB 07-15-2 - I found it after mine blew).
We used: CalVan Tools 38900 Two Valve Ford Triton Tool Kit - Foolproof Repair System, Spark Plug Thread Repair Kit. Tools and Equipment https://a.co/d/315nhRN to fix it.
That was 12,640 miles ago - my 2002 5.4 4x4 King Ranch just hit 200K.
