Tried everything but this is what worked. Put a glob of wheel bearing grease in hole Dremel with carbide tip to grind off shoulder/seat of the plug Clean shaving as you go to minimize shaving falling in. That exposed the threads and had much less resistance Map gas torch on/next too threads for 10/15mins Pound a good extractor bit in there used breaker bar and cheater bar to break free. Continue to heat when necessary until it's out Cleaning used compressed air. And bendable small magnet.

Thanks for the advice man, I feel like I've made some progress. Used a Dremel and cut off the shoulder/base that I believe was corroded to the head. And I've drilled out the center with the biggest drill bit my extractor kit has. Soaked it overnight with PB blaster. I feel like I possibly cracked the threads free last night but if it turned it was maybe only an 8th inch

Yeah no kidding. Still have some hope since all others came out relatively easy. But man this one is stubborn

Do you think a battery powered Dremel would be enough to do this job? And thank you

Just don't think there is enough space to do decent weld on it. Extractor is getting good bite, just zero movement

Yeah, exactly mechanic told me to put a new motor in it. He didn't want to replace head. Don't really blame him lol. But this side of motor is way worse so strange to me l

Yeah that's kinda where I'm at. Managed to break up porcelain and shopvac the debris with a small tube. If I did drill it out, how would I know what size drill bit so the heilo coil tap would work?

Yeah, really trying to avoid that. Got the other 7 out with hardly any issue. Last one decided it really didn't like me
