getting them hot can do it.
but other than that, things just happen.
they can just fail.
be glad you dont have a dodge with a 2.4. they pretty much failed before they got to 45,000 miles.

More good advice from Buddy.
Overheating is probably the #1 cause, but head bolts can break, or pull out of block because of a bad casting.
