cylinder head

If the badly fitted plug was not screwed in all the way, then you should be able to reclaim the threads. Acquire a longish tap to suit the plug thread, grease it well to hold the swarf that will be created, lower the piston down to give you enough room for the tap to go into the cylinder a bit, take a look down the plug hole to ensure there isn,t a valve head visible, and run the tap through it.
