Can Spark Plug Removal Crack a Cylinder?

No, spark plugs screw into a threaded hole in the cylinder "heads," and therefore cannot crack a cylinder [wall around the pistons].

NOTE however, that if spark plugs are not removed and reinstalled PROPERLY, this process can "strip" and ruin the threads in the cylinder "HEAD."
