What is the estimate time and cost to install helicore on number 3 piston? Plug blew, had a new one installed but has exhaust leak.

I think it's going to be a time plus materials kind of situation. It depends on access and how good the guy is. I'd guess labor at 1 to 2 hours. Parts are about $10, I guess. Here's a directory link for you: http://repairpal.com/ford-repair-in-forest-mississippi
Ouch, ugly deal. Did you already have a Helicoil installed? OK, the correct way per Ford to do the repair is to remove the cylinder head and have the "thread-stitch" method done with the spark plug hole. This would be many hours of labor. However, most technicians experienced with the thread stitch process (the only process approved by Ford, by the way...) can do it within a few hours - with the engine still in chassis.. They usually charge you more, though, in my experience.
