Yeaup. The top of the spark plug came out with the coil. It looks to have been a blown spark plug that broke. The engine still makes that clanc noise, we don't even know if the broken piece is stopping the engine
from turning over fully. I'll most likely have to take apart the top end to even fetch the piece and, see what the damage is in the cylinder walls.
Engines aren't cheap or plentiful to find either, especially in the northeast, tri-state area.

The problem is no doubt due to the very long intervals between sparkplug changes, (around 70k miles). This gives plenty of time for the plug to seize in the cylinder head and/or other things to happen. One has to wonder if the sparkplug makers are happy with these extended intervals.
