Hey Guys...I have a 2002 3.8 V6 ...
Recently I had one of the spark plugs blown out.I read about this issue been common for the V8's...Bt is this common for V6 too..?

I have heard off a few solutions:
1.Trying our new spark plugs..?
2.Using some inserts..to take care off the same..
3.Getting the head reworked on ..i.e. getting it tapped..?


Any comment/suggestions would be helpful..?

I have a '98 GT and have never personally experienced this issue, even w/o using a torque wrench. I have considered it though.

If you have a torque wrench at your disposal, you might try it. I have no idea what the spec is on this.
