Fun with busted spark plugs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I got the '87 GMC registered, slapped my plates on and took it for a nice test drive. Ten minutes later.... tick, tick, tick, tick. The seller told me it should be due for a tuneup, but I never expected a spark plug to break in half... at least not without ever putting a wrench to it. Anyway, the plug broke off just like this, between the threads and the hex head:

Unless anyone else has a better idea, I've got a date with an easyout tomorrow night.
