It makes you feel bad, having to carefully remove all pieces before engine can be operated again... and makes you feel miserable if the engine is operated and the cylinder wall or valve seats become seriously damaged. My suggestion would be to use a (nowadays) not-that-expensive fiberoptic camera to be able to see the inside of the affected cylinder, together with some means to pick up the porcelain pieces, making sure all are completely removed from inside that cylinder. If the sparkplug lost part of the porcelain insulator when engine was operating (as a result from cylinder detonation), possible damage has already occurred, and that damage needs to be evaluated.

What does a damaged spark plug do tp a engine?
Depends on how it is damaged. if the electrode is bad then your engine will run rough. If the porcelain is cracked you could loose compression. it just depends.
Are spark plugs made of porcelain?
yes
How do you remove the porcelain from the base of the spark plug when it breaks off?
I do not understand why you want to remove the porcelain if it is broken off. Just remove & replace the spark plug which is no longer any good if the porcelain is broken.
The insulator of a typical spark plug is made of?
Porcelain
What is the material used for the insulation of spark plug?
Porcelain
When the engine of a car heats up what happen to the spark plug gap?
It decreases
What will happen if spark plug is installed in a diesel engine?
if we apply spark plug, machine also can run.but compared to previous case withput spark plug which will have low efficiency.
Could a misfire in the engine not make the truck run?
It is possible for that to happen, if it's more than one spark plug, depending on the engine of the vehicle. check your spark plugs, if you replace them and still have the miss, check you the spark plug wires and distributor
What will happen if switch spark plug wires?
it will fire in the wrong order and the engine will essentially fight itself
How spark timing helps your top end?
The spark timing must conform to the increase in rpm's of the engine. If the timing does not advance as the speed increases, the spark will not happen at the correct time during the exhaust stroke.
Why do spark plugs turn black?
In the combustion-engines, such as the most common engines in the cars today, the combustion cycle occurs by burning the fuel that enters the cylinder(s) of the engine, by a small spark that's provided by the spark plug(s), thus turning black as with any metal that comes in contact with fire.One of the definitions of Combustion. Ignition: the burning of fuel in an engine to provide power
What is spark ignition engine?
A 'spark ignition ' engine is your regular gasoline engine as opposed to a diesel, which is a 'compression ignition' engine
