sparplug broke in head triton v8. the ceramic is still in the ceramic shield with is lodged in the head. the threads and the top of the spark plug have been remove. This apparently a common problem with this design. I bought a kit that taps the shield to remove it, but the remaining ceramic will not allow it to be tapped. Are there any other option besides removing the head and drilling them out?
you will prob have to remove the head. It is only a common problem when the proper procedure is ignored. I have been doing this for 17 years and never had one break. When you remove these they need to be at a certain temp. (warm) before removal. Before removing the others, make sure you warm the engine up for about ten minutes, then let cool for 5 minutes. Then remove plugs.You may try to drill the ceramic out of the broken plug, then tap out.
