If the plug, "...came out with the threads...", it sounds like the previous thread repair has FAILED. I'd try to re-insert the coil with some red threadlocker.

I have a kit in handy, PM me if needed. They didn't tap it good or tap it in the wrong way so the insert came out with the spark plug.

plugs

Something never mentioned, I read it on the NGK plug site, ALWAYS allow 2 hrs of cool down before removing plugs from an engine with Aluminum heads.
