UPDATE

Its out , had the remove head and drilled the bugger out and then unwound the steel left in the thread :ok

It was seized it the point end of the plug .

Where is beat place to get Gasket set for cylinder head as I take it u also need to replace all the push rod tube seals as well ?

The piston cylinder had a metal gasket on top , looked on one site and shows a rubber gasket sandwiched between piston cylinder and metal gasket ?

Congratulations, I bet you are relieved to have shifted it. Any indication of why it was so stubborn, had it been bonded in with sealant?
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it!

Thank you :D

Yes very relieved , no it was not bonded or rusted on any of the tread ?

Just very tight on end of plug spark end.

It would not even move with the easy out or tapping with the small cold chisel :(

Even heating it with head off did not work , doubt the welding in bar would have worked, but did not try this.
