Stick with the motocraft and put nickle anti-seize on them

 

Thats what I was thinking. Lol. But when people started mentioning the aftermarket plugs I started second guessing myself.

 

I had just read that some have no issues and some do with the champs...not saying that you would have issues...but I know the only issue with the stock ones is them getting stuck and some anti-seize would remedy that....thats my take on it

 

Buy a set of Champion's and a set of Motorcraft, after taking out the 8 plugs in your engine, you will have a better gauge at what you want to put back in.

Recent stories have documented success, at the end of their 8 hour marathon tune-up.

 

Are the NGK plugs 2 piece?

 

NGK does not make plugs for the 04-08 3V motors. The late 08's and newer with the redesigned heads are ALL conventional one piece plugs regardless of brand.

 

The advance auto website says there is a NGK plug that will fit heres the link http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...;7CGRP2041____

 

You made some kind of mistake looking it up. Again, NGK does not make plugs for a 04 through mid 08 5.4 3v. Not a clue what that plug fits. Look at the picture - there's no extended ground barrel.

This plug fits:
