Broken Spark Plug - Need help fast
If getting stuff in the cylinder is a big fear, why not take the head
off? You lose a little bit of leverage that way, but at least you could get at it from both sides..... Just an idea, I'm no expert. |

I agree, head removal is the propper way.
I ran into this before with an aluminium head, its just not worth it to drill the core with head in place. If all the ducks are lined up (parts, tools etc) its an easy job.

By the way, there are two important processes that should be considered with
aluminum heads and steel spark plug threads. 1. the different rate and extent of thermal expansion :heating and cooling might break the corrosion bond 2. electrolysis between dissimilar metals causes corrosion between the surfaces. : there are compounds that should be applied to the plug threads to reduce the effects of electrolysis.
