get one of those little long things that when you press one one side, the other side has little fingers and it can grab stuff try that. otherwise pull the engine and turn it upside down to shake the broken stuff out if it.

Yes, the engine is aluminum but with steel/iron sleeves in the cylinder.

Is there a piece "inside" or a pieace broken off and still threaded!!!?

From what i was told the plug was out and the porcelain is broken and inside of the cylinder.

the spark plug stripped the threads on the head. Not sure if it is going to be able to be re-threaded.

I second the strong shop vac

But there is no way to make absolutely sure everything is out unless you take it apart
