Are the threads on the Head fucked too?

Who installed the Spark Plugs?

The least you can do is Ask.

if you installed the plug's they wont cover a damn thing.. but since in your mod's list there is no aftermarket plug's i would assume that you are on the factory ones.. and if you are and they are stripped then they HAVE TO COVER IT... **** even if u have different plug's and it was the dealer who put em im then it's there fault.

Changing the plug's shouldn't be rocket science but you can over tighten.......

Yes, especially if the engine is hot, you can rip those threads right out of the head, aluminum is soft when hot.

But if hes never touched them then how in the hell did that happen. Can you literally blow a plug out from severe detonation.

weeeeellllllllllllllllllllll

you won't blow a plug out due to detonation. it will eat the ground strap. someone over torqued the plugs. it doesn't take much. maybe 10 ft lbs if that. and thats hand tight
