After looking at it I decided it must just be loose and went to tighten it...well that didnt work out to well. Turns out the threads are mangled and it popped off. So now I'm left with this hole in my block and wondering how in the world am I going to fix this.
Did you try re-tapping the threads? If that doesn't work you can always use the Helicoil or E-Z Lok inserts.
