And yes, the 3.0 is more susceptible to this problem, simply because how long the head is. But this problem is not common unless the engine was overheated. In that case, the extra expansion rate of the aluminum, which the head is... ends up pulling the headbolt threads a bit in the block to the point they can't be re-torqued. But nothing a brand new shiny long block can't fix
