be happy that you are just blowing spark plugs out of the engine. Many of the high performance recriprocating aircract engines suffer from a phenomenom called liberation. A process which is related to detonation where entire cylinders are blown off the crankcase, either breaking the mounting studs or taking large chunks of the case with them.

I think tha thte reason may lie in that there is a steel sparkplug barrel threading into an aluminum head. A little dissimilar mettal corrosion and there goes the threads and pop, out comes a sparkplug.

THAT'S one of the reasons you're SUPPOSED to coat the threads of the plugs with an antisieze compound before installing

As far as the plug install goes, I installed them, with a proper coat of anti sieze and torqued to factory specs. I am still waiting on the verdict on the engine.
