Welding to the end of the tool wont cause damage.

Turning the tool to remove might.

Its sounds pretty damn stuck if the tool broke also.

ok thank you .. ive soaked it for 3 days in penetrating spray . might aswell give it a crack tou never no

i have the spark plug out . but using the easy out has causes slight cracks ... will this still be ok for now or will it need another head ?

if you look on the bottom 2 valves there is 1 small crack on either side of the spark plug hole leading to the valves ... these are not deep at all and not near any water ways ect. would this be safe to re use ?

For the sake of £20 take it and get it tested Better safe than sorry. They will probably clean threads for you etc as well.
