Well two days ago im driving to my gf's house when suddenly my car made a poping noise and then sounded like it was going to die. Pulled over and popped the hood, the sparkplug poped out of its place. so i tried to screw it back in and turned the engine on again and it pops out again.

It seems that who ever did my sparkplug change last time over tightened it and since ive been deployed i cant remember if it was the dealer or not.

its a magnum motor, whats the chances that it can get fixed with out replacing the head?

Has anybody else gone throught this before?

Yes i used search and couldnt find anything/
