Spark Plug change response from my service manager

all metal expands when heated
Or at least I can't think of one that doesn't under normal circumstances.
Sure, the head will expand, but the spark plug hole in the head will get bigger too, not smaller. Aluminum has a higher CTE than steel, so the hole in the head should get bigger faster than the steel shell of the plug does.
Even if you created a perfect vacuum outside of the broken plug, that would not translate into a whole lot of force. 14 something psi on a farily small area is pretty insignificant.
