LOL! Or just properly torque the spark plug under it so that doesn't happen. :-p

if the spark plug is backing out, the coilpack is the least of your worries

Default lol.. all the popped-up coils I've seen on AWMs were due to improperly torqued plug.
Properly retorque'd them all and the issue never came back.

Default one time I had an improperly torqued plug back out. Needed to pull the head to replace the threads
maybe that's what saves AWM owners. They get a misfire before they damage the cylinder head.

Default nope, undertorqued. Backed out, then the bolted in coilpack kept the plug pressed...
against the threads in the head. Hammered the threads right out.

Yeah that doesn't sound fun :-( In that case yes our AWM push in coilpacks would have saved it.
