Oh the joys of overtightening! You mutsa really cranked on that puppy.
Doc
You can try to use a large easy out, but beware there will more than likely be chips when engaging the easy out in the plug. You might try a little thick bearing grease on the easy out to try and hold the chips.

Have someone hold a vacuum nozzle near the work area. It would prolly be a good idea to make sure that piston is at TDC and you have a skinny piece of tubing to vacuum inside the cylinder too. Mike
