I fear that spark plug hole was stripped out by someone who tightened the spark plug too much. The heli coil SHOULD have fixed it but obviously it didn't seat properly. Try having it heli coiled again, and warn them that you are keeping the repair receipt slip.
good luck...

N O N O N O it won't. there replaced into troubler previously the plugs have been replaced. HAve somebody do away with those new plugs and seek for DISCOLORATION On them. the suggestion might desire to be WHITE without unusual coatings or colour. If there is < then you truly've aleaking head gasket. the factor approximately those is that many times circumstances in basic terms changing the top BOLTS will treatment the rpoblem. the clarification is somewhat straightforward. over the years,s the top bolts S T R E T C H. they're meant to try this. After some years, they get drained and can reason a leak. changing the top BOLTS is needed anyhow in case you do away with the top. in case you replace the bolts and it DOES artwork, then you truly can RE-USE THEM! you need to use in straightforward terms the production facility COOLANT in there. stable success!!

replacing the head will fix the problem. helicoil is a quick fix and if not done right will not work and problems will occur.
