Did you check it with a scope to see that there is no piston damage? That is pretty low numbers so I would make sure what the damage is before you start buying replacement parts.

sorry bro... Did you up date to the 03-04 heads yet?..... If not this will be a good time to change them out...

99-02 heads had 3 threads for the spark plugs..... 03-04 had 8 threads....

99-02s blow the plugs out , even on normal driving 25mpg .......

Ford and SVT fixed the problem in 03-04 and called it a " Up Date " ........

Just FYI, it's a great price and shipping really isn't that bad.
