    They probably mean the threaded hole that the spark plug screws into needs to be drilled and a heli-coil insert installed

    A stripped thread in the cylinder head. This usually happens if you remove the plugs when the engine is hot. Aluminum damages easily if not cool first. Other the last plug service. dirt got in and got in the threads and damage during removal process later.
