blew a spark plug out, 93 F250

Figures, the day I list my truck for sale, the #2 spark plug blows right out of the head. All the porcelain is out, leaving me a nice clean hole to jam the easy-out into. HOWEVER.........so far, no amount of heat (from the measly MAPP gas torch), quench, Aerokroil, cussin', cheater bar, hammer & punch, seances, voo-doo, and more swearing has been able to budge that SOB. My next thought is to borrow an oxy-acetylene deal and get 'er orange before I throw water on it. I REALLY did not want to pull the head off this thing. Any tips????

P.S. Anyone want to buy a sweet Dana 60 bigblock 93 F250? I'll give you a deal if I don't have to fix the spark plug!

I have fixed several blown out plugs on ford trucks around here.
The easiest way I have found is to heat with a torch and as it cools shoot some PB blaster around it. Let it cool off some first or you may have a flash fire .
Wait till it has cooled competely and try the extractor.
Sometimes it takes heating it up a couple times but has always worked for me.

Oh and the square extractors work better than the spiral ones for me.

Good luck,

One thing I have found out the spiral one as they go in they try to expand the peace I am trying to get out they do seem stronger but a pain to use.I like the sqaure ones but both have there places that better than the other.

Thanks guys! I need to try the square extractor. I'll let you know if I have any luck.

Broke the plug, it fell in the cylinder. Time to pull the heads. Oh well.

It stinks when that happens.
I should have told you to take the other 7 plugs out before spending too much time on the blown out plug.
The last one I did was a 95 f150 with a 302. There ended up being 5 out of the 8 plugs break. I got real lucky that all the ceramic ends came out in 1 peice.
#8 was the worst one to remove the threaded end.

I had to pull a head off a s10 blazer with a 4.3 to clean the ceramic out of a cylinder once. 8 hours,10 bloody knuckles and a sore back later it was running.
