I don't know the entire story but some of the earlier 3 valve engine had some serious issuses with the spark plugs. Seems there were not enough threads and they would pull the threads when removing the plugs, or the thrads would fracture and the spark plugs would get spit out of the heads. Seems there was only 3 or 4 threads securing the plugs. There is a good fix; but the OEM design seemed lacking. The plugs were real pricey too.
