Spark plugs don't "blow". The melt down over time, they crack or they get fouled with something. I suspect yours are getting fouled and you need to find out if it's too much fuel or too weak of spark.

Of course there is. That's what I just said The plug is just the damage that is resulting. The engine needs to be diagnosed properly.
