That does seem to be a common shop problem with all of these garbage aluminum head engines.
All of those plug threads need to be looked at. They will all probably have to be heli-coiled. Take the heads off and get them to a machine shop. Next time buy only vehicles with iron heads. Aluminum is worthless in a daily driver automotive engine. For information on how to remove the heads post in your appropriate engine forum.

That just does not happen often with iron heads. Unless someone is really sloppy, -but then someone that would put in splitfire plugs...
Sounds like you need to talk to the people in the Windsor forum. Those heads will have to come off and be reworked.
Sorry about the gripe with aluminum heads, it is a pet peeve of mine.
