Player 1 gives Player 2 a 159 point head start. Player 2 fouls. Player 1 leading 4-0, pots a free ball and a black, then does a 147 clearance for a break of 155. The scores are now tied at 159-159 and he also pots the re-spotted black for a total break of 166.

By this definition 18 pints would be enough ie 4 from the foul and the from the colours up to the blue. That would be an unassailable lead requiring snookers.

Yes, but if the trailing player wanted to carry on he could and more points would have to be scored as long as he wanted to continue.
With the pink gone the losing player has no choice, the frame is over.

Never seen it! Proper players always call it a day after the Pink.

In 1995 Tony Drago made a 149 in practice against Nick Manning in West Norwood, London, that was recorded by the Guinness Book of Records as the highest in this category. In that match Drago nominated the brown as the free ball, to score one point. He then potted the brown again, for four more points, before potting the 15 reds with 13 blacks, a pink and a blue, then all the colours.
There is a dubious 151 listed somewhere as well.

No choice in the matter Dave, it's in the rules that 8+ points difference with only black left is frame over.

Now you're confusing snooker with "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything"
