[RESOLVED] need help, broken spark plug!

[92EagleAWD]

OK, all 4 of my spark plugs broke, they are technicly in one peice but one is still stuck, the porceline broke off of the plug and fell into one of the cylinders, and i cant get it out. another one, same thing only i cant get the plug out because there is porceline stuck around it so the socket wont grab it. i have tried for about 2 hours to get the porceline out but i cant get it. and i dont know what to do about the porceline in the cylinder. ### HELP

The head may need to be removed to retrieve the spark plug porceline. You could try using a very strong shop vac to try and suck it out from the spark plug hole.

Yea. Best bet would be to pull the head, esp since your threads might be f-ed after you somehow get them out. I would je=ust get the head off of there. Probably be the easiest thing to do. Never thought i would say that, but eh.

Use a Kirby(hehe they are the best Vac in the world) Or for the one that still has the plug in your could use an air hose with a spray nozzle just wear eye protection. As for the one in the cylinder if you cant suck it out with a vacuum you get to do a head gasket replacement.

aha i got it, i did some thinking and ordered a pizza, i told the pizza guy what my predicament was and he said to roll up a paper plate like a cone stick a straw through the end of it, and duct tape it to make a small hose like thing. and it worked. the pieces that were too big it would just hold onto and then i could pull them out one by one.

i put it on the end of a shop-vac, forgot to mention that

Congrats.

But Im pretty sure trying to figure out how to get out "broken" spark plugs are the least of your worries with that longblock.
