Evening
No3 spark plug on my Honda Blackbird engine has a partially snapped bottom end of the plug stuck in the threads inside the head. Blackbird plugs lie at the bottom of a quite tight tube down into the head, so access is at best poor.
For the last few days I have been spraying wd40 down the plug hole, and today set about winding in an easy out.
Wound it in and back out again several times, all looked ok and felt ok.
You know what is coming next, yes the bloody thing has snapped inside the head.
At best I had resigned myself to the head coming off to fit a wurth insert, now the head has the easy out stub to deal with.
I personally doubt it will come out, and will need machined out on a mill, any ideas guys what best I can do ?
Thanks
