Do a search in the V10 forum. You'll find plenty of info. It was more common in the 99-01's. After that, more threads were added to the head and that seemed to help alleviate this problem.

No, you shouldn't have to pull the head. I think the repair is called a timesert. It's similiar to a heli-coil. Check the V10 forum. You'll get all the info you need.
