Exactly. That was going to be my next post. If the plug didn't break inside the combustion chamber/cylinder there is no reason to even take the motor apart. Remove what's left of the plug in the head and see if any of the ceramic broke off or if any of the rest of the plug is intact. If you didn't loose any of it into the cylinder you're good to go.
