Sparkplug ground electrode burned off

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on January 2, 2021

2010 Ford F-150 5.4 3valve did a tuneup changed sparkplugs and coils with correct Motorcraft plugs and AC Delco COP’s now I have burned off 2 ground electrodes in less than 100 miles. No codes on the computer or mis-fire information from my code reader. Used di-electric lube on COP boots and nickel anti-seize on the threads.
Should I go back to the original Ford COP’s?
I’ll have to add the image later as the one I have is too large of a file.enter image description here

One Answer

Should not use anti-seize on the threads, just proper torques. Loose spark plugs pull air into the combustion chamber and lean that cylinder. Replace the plugs and try again. The loose plug can definitely burn the electrode off.
