friend did this to a used truck he bought. 2002 F150. in SoCal. truck had receipts showing a full tuneup 20k ago. i told him to leave it alone. damn. what method will they use to get it fixed? he took it to a mechanic that "tried gluing it"? no go...now the head needs to come out?

Usually snapping off a plug means you broke the electrode off and stripped the threads. If the mechanic tried "gluing it" i guess they tried to epoxy the electrode back on?
Ugly situation. Gotta pull the head and easy out the old plug.
