Anything stronger than JB weld??
 
Trying JB weld in a socket to pull that easy out off of the plug... letting it set over night.. think i'll put enough torque on that socket to break that JB weld??? If it does break, any other suggestions?

I had got this stuff at pepeboys, it looked like quicksteel, but it was like jb weld on steroids.

Seriously I would prolly take that head off, if you know the threads are messed up you may have to helicoil it anyway.

if JB doesn't work and it just rounds it again. I'm going to drill the bitch out down a 1/2" past the plug threads that are left in.. and leave the rest of the ez out.. then run that stubby snap on easy out in w/ the socket head on it. and i should be game.. unless the plug threads break again and leave the rest of the ez out and threads in.. which i'd just drill the rest out and make sure the piston was TDC.. then use my long magnet extension and pull everything out. :6 i've got a plan

quit being a cheapass and take the head off to take out all the broken metal bits your ------- around is going to leave in there for your valves to eat.
