help with my spark plug choice
#18
I agree with the oem. Yeah they are still 2pc but if you follow the tsm and use the anti-seize correctly they shouldn't be a problem getting out. Hopefully someone that has put their third set of plugs in after following the tsm can chime in. If I remember correctly those Brisk plugs are high $.

I know this thread is old (sorry), I'm not 100% sure, but I think there are 2 different versions of the SP-507 plugs. In my 2005 Lariat, I just pulled out PZT1Fs (all but 1 broke) which I believe are SP-507s. I recently bought replacements from summit which are SP-507s, but have PZT14F stamped on them. Are these the newer/upgraded SP-507s? The ONLY difference that I can see is the opening around the tip (see pic). I hope I didn't buy the same crappy old plugs or an outdated one. Fordparts.com has 2 different SP-507 listed, but it doesn't give the number that is stamped on the plugs. The only difference is one is $5 cheaper than the other (assuming this is the old plug).

plugs
I know most people like MC plugs in the 5.4's. I had my plugs changed out a little over a month ago, 42K on the truck at the time and had Champions put in. I actually got an improvement in mileage (mostly city driving) over when I had the MC plugs. No other changes, everything as close to same (going to work, time of day, driving conditions, etc) between pre and post plug change.
So far it's running great and the motor is actually showing slightly lower rpms at 60 mph with the Champions vs MC plugs. At this time, I have no complaints what-so-ever with the Champions.
Good luck whatever you choose.
