how did it break? you twisting on it or was it in a bind sideways? if you were trying to take it out and it twisted off, providing you were turning it the right way ,,, i am pretty sure its time to pull the head off,,, if it infact twisted off trying to get it out,,, its pretty much stuck there,,, maybe alot of heat FAST so the aluminum swells fast and first it might come out,, but it might also come out and bring the threads with it.........

If you cant get it from the outside pull the head and try to twist than move to more desperate measures (drill) it out from the inside. You might even be able to reuse all the gaskets. Including if your lucky the head gasket. If it stay in one piece. While your in there how bout new rings? Good luck.
