It kind of sounds like someone put heli-coil in the head and it might of worked its way out. Take a look at the threads, if there are any. It also could be stripped.

Why was he running no oil on a hot day, is he retarted!!

are you serious?

if that is the case you will have to get a new head, I dont think you can re-tap or helacoil and plug into the stripped head.

It was just a thought, never really had a problem like that.

Helicoil it. It will be stronger than stock.
