I have an intake (that I have for a spare engine) which I need to remove that plug from, so I'm all ears on precisely how you pulled it!
Was it simply:
1) douce with penetrant
2) heat with torch till it stops bubling/smoking
3) try to move plug
4) repeat
??

I had my car's original rad recored about twenty years ago;
unfortunately for me, I didn't realize till later that the old guy tossed the ID tag that my rad had on it!

Yep. Dan had to do that procedure for an hour, so probably 5 or 6 reps. Most of the time was for the PB Blaster to soak for a 10 minutes between heatings.

Next time try candle wax.
Get good and hot around bolt, plug, stud.
Then melt candle wax on threads.

I'd be surprised if he has any candles being a bachelor, lol! Maybe he does for power outages...I have read the candle wax really works well and we'll have to try it on the next tough nut, bolt, plug. Thanks for the suggestion.
