UPDATE

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

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 ?

Glad you finally extracted it my friend. Try Brickwerks for the gaskets!

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?

Thank you

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.
