Try removing the spark plug with the motor warm and tap your rachet handle gently with a hammer, should come out then.

Doesn't running your engine heat the metal causing it to
expand? Wouldn't this make it even harder to loosen
something? Just wondering here. I'd use penetratring oil on it.
Let it soak in for awhile.

he is right, run it and then tap on the ratchet, that should help, and the expansion of the block is what the heat is for....not sure why heating stuff works but it does the trick. good luck
