i concur with the ford engineer-
adequate plug cooling requires careful consideration of surrounding liquid and solid thermal conductivity coefficients for proper cooling. per suggestion, arbitrary plug placement wont cut it in most castings, although SOME latitude of placement can be gained from proper thin wall design around said areas for air cooling. at best, it is a compromise.
