Another plug question

Is the issue with the plugs breaking, is that just with the 5.4? I am running an 05 with the 4.6, is that something that I need to be worried about? Yes I did a search, but all I was finding was issues with the 5.4, so I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks in advance.

5.4 only. the 3valve head is a "special" design.

4.6 3V
5.4 3V
6.8 3V

...of the correct vintage - as described in the TSB - which you should aslso have seen in yer search.

If yer engine is not one of those you are fine - and you are

what years is the 4.6 3v in?
is the head the same as the 5.4 with the sunken spark plugs?

I've never worked on a 4.6, but I was sure that I read on here that the plugs were not an issue.

05+ Mustangs

The 4.6 3V's in the 09+ f150's are golden.

No 4.6 3V's in the 04-08 F150 models - just 2V's which are also golden.

The TSB lays it out nicely.
