<VV> Oops - need advice

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

I had this very experience in a 1942 Hercules flathead 6 used to power 
a 1942 Sperry searchlight! I did pull the head, but in the end, I used 
the hacksaw method, worked well. Now, I did grind down a metal cutting 
blade on a Sawzall, and took my time, but nonetheless, I got them all 
out. I broke off 3 plugs, my guess is, this is the first time these had 
EVER been changed!

Hi Rick,

I am thankful that I have never had that experience.   Were any of 
those
broken plugs in aluminum heads?

I have  broken spark plugs off at the threads in old and in some cases

wrench they
will  break.
