So my spark plug just shoots out while im driving, even tried to j.b. weild it in there ( temp fix while i wait on a cylnder head to come in), that worked for about a day. My question is this, would jb wielding my spark plug in cause any other damage?

Also could some1 post a link on how to swap cylnder heads.

Thanks for the help.

There is lots of stuff on the internet about swapping heads... also check YouTube.

JB Weld is great stuff but it says right on the tech sheet on their website that it shouldn't be used in any environment that is in close proximity to the combustion chamber or the exhaust ports. It'll withstand temperatures up to about 500 F and then it fails, hence your searingly hot little projectile. Have you tried duct tape? Here is a post on a BBK upgrade. They show taking the head off and putting it back on. There's also manuals in our tech library that give torque values.
