What's your plan for #1? There are various "special tool kits" with guides and drill bits and such that help with drilling out the remains while leaving the head and the original threads intact.

If you plan to pull the pre-chambers, you will need to removed that #1 glow plug before pulling that pre-chamber.

This is a good question. Not only did the previous owner break it off they started to try to drill it. Walking slightly into the head. So I don't know if they have sleeve kits for this cylinder head or it is worth it.

Probably time to take it to a machine shop and let them remove it.
