Default core plug came of while been dyno

My 205 block core plug cam off while been dyno at 1.3 bar at wheel 290 plus wheel power. what happen can anyone advice? the plug isn't OEM stuff. could it be wrong size? or have the head gasket gave way? gasket is new cometic multi layer type.

So long as run aborted right away, with a bit of luck will be fine.
Obviously either the wrong size plug or not fitted properly.
Pattern ones are fine if right size, would have thought it would have leaked elsewhere before core plug if it was a dodgy HG.
