I see from your sig that you had non standard plugs fitted, you didn't torque them to the setting in the service manual by any chance?

What you need to ask for is a heli coil insert fitted, this looks like a tight spring but in fact is an insert with thread on inside and outside, the block is drilled and tapped to the outside thread dia then the insert is fitted using permanent lock tight. Its a permanent solution and should give you no problems in future but you will have to remove the head to do it.

I checked mine yesterday and I torqued mine to 25Nm as per the manual so I'm looking for clarification myself.
