What happens when a spark plug cracks in the engine? (pic inside)

[tn_accords]

i would use the extractor method first... the if that dont work then try using the JB weld method..... umm instead of JB weld ... try using some Liquid Nails because that shit is strong as hell just make sure you let it sit for a while to gain full strength.

I hope you are kidding about the JB Weld and Liquid Nails.

you are not fuck. Take off the head. take to the machine shop and have them extract it out.

Since you have the head off. Get new valve seal and head gasket and have the head rebuilt like port and polish, angle job and etc

or just buy new rebuilt head from ebay they are about $200

you are not screwed just buy an ez out it should come out pretty easy.i have seen worse than that taken out with an ez out.

[XcluziveAZN]

when you do easy out .... you have to get like a small vacuum to suck all those small metal particle. You don't want any of those in your engine cylinder or else you going to fuck them up even more.

This is the route that I would take. Worst case scenario is taking the head off. Might as well get at least a valve job when its off.

The head comes off easy, just take it off like he said and take it to the machine shop, or better yet when its off you can turn it over and the spark plug threads are right there. I wouldnt try any thing else.

dont forget to vacuum the cylinder. Just a precaution :P

[turbo90accord]

vacuum is not that effective when you have a big chamber below it. If you use an extractor fill the voids of the extracor with the thickest grease you can find. Doing this, the grease will catch any chips that are created rather letting them fall.

An Easy-Out (EZ-Out, Ezy-Out...) doesn't cut swarf so won't create particles that might get into the engine. If you soak it in penetrating oil for long enough you might be lucky and get the plug remnants out without needing to pull the head off...

You'll need a fairly large Easy-Out. Check this page:

Good luck!

where do i find an easy out or an extractor at?

[XcluziveAZN]

home depot sears

[DrSzSoLDIeR]

this should do the trick without me having to take off the valve cover right?

I would just remove the head, mainly due to the fact of the possiblilty of having metal shaving getting into the cylinders.
