1999 Ford F-250 Engine

BEGAN TO HEAR A SLIGHT TICKING OF WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SLIGHT EXHAUST LEAK. WITHIN A MATTER OF A MINUTE OR TWO IT GOT LOUD, THEN THERE WAS A POP. THE REAR SPARK PLUG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW COMPLETELY OUT OF THE MOTOR. I PULLED OVER AND WAS IN NEED OF A TOW. THE MECHANIC HAD TO PUT SOME SORT OF INSERT IN THE HEAD TO FIX THE HOLE. *JB
