<VV> Oops - need advice

[J R Read]

You might try a reversed twist drill bit (on a reversing drill).  I think it 
would be smart to have the piston at the top of the compression stoke before 
starting - with both valves closed.  You can pull the rocker cover to watch 
the valve action.  If you get lucky, the drill might just unscrew the 
remainder of the plug for you.
Later, JR

It sheared the plug off flat against the head - so just the metal of the 
sparkplug is in the threads of the head with nothing to grip. This engine, 
while running, had sat for a long time and a mouse had made its nest around 
this plug, so i suspect that getting the remainder out will be a challenge.
Can anyone comment on my 120-130 lb readings. That good enough just to 
address this problem and not tear down more of the motor?
