Broken spark plug
I have heard about this nightmare before but never had one until now. A 1995 Beretta, 3.1 I bought to use as a beater car was in bad need of a tune up (among other things) and one of the plugs broke off below the hex, which shocked me as the plugs they had put in it were fairly new (but cheap) ones. Almost impossible to get to as it is in the back of the engine and maybe 3/8" visable (with mirror) still sticking up and some porcelain. I would guess I am looking at pulling the head(s) and taking both in to machine shop, as I might as well have both checked, fixed as needed and replace all gaskets. That is, unless someone knows of a procedure they would recommend. Hard to work in the area and not sure an easy out would help. I would assume the plug was most likley cross threaded. Any thoughts???
