compression test gone wrong
 

ok i was atempting to do a compression test, i forgot there was an adaptor on the end of the hose :( so now that peice is stuck in the #1 hole and i cant get it out!
tips anyone?

Ask bambooseven. He did the same thing. lol

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

we just had this happen last weekend.

we just put the hose back together and it came out. it took a few times, but just rethread it and then unthread it. if not, you might up ---- creek without a paddle.

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

is the plug still stuck on it? i just plugged the plug with something and crankled the car a couple of times. it shot out.

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

yup i think i might be. like a dumbass i put the sparkplug is and tightend it :-[ then noticed that its higher up than usual i unscrewed it and now its tighter than a ----------er >:(

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

interesting.. but wouldent that strip the hole tho?

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

threadlocker a spark plug back in it and let it dry then back her out tommorow. ;)

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

another bad thing to do....

don't pull the fuel pump relay or the coil wire, it may take awhile if the plug wires are hanging down the block a ways but believe me there will be fire.

Note to self, drink coffee before advising friend how to do compression test.

your a fregin genius! ;D but i used JB weld
thanks

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

I hope it works for you little guy. 8)

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

don't do it that way, it got all fucked up when I tried that, JD weld got all over the place, it was a mess. Go to your hardware store and buy an easy out (reverse drill bit). thread the easyout in there really easily and back it out. Don't try to torque it too hard and definitely do not use any sort of power tools, the easy out will break. Mine came out relatively easily. Good luck.

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

so you JB welded a spark plug into you head?

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

your confused.

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

I did the exact ------- thing before.

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

I remember the first time I did a compression test and almost got the tester stuck. Had the hose coiled like a pasta noodle before it finally broke free. Since then I always lube it up and don't go in very tight :P

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

i got a big ass screw driver and it fit into it and i turned it.

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

anyone who fucks up on a compression test is ------- retarded. ::)

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

mine was a plastic corc that i screwed into where the spark plug went. its werd. its like one of thise corks for wine bottles. then the damn l;ever to releave pressure got stuck. so i plugged the hole with a pencil and cranked. POP, flew right out.but this one was all weird and ----. everything was in german.

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

I used VERY long needle nose plyers and turned that fucker back out, But I didn't put the spark plug back in and tighten it

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

well im just glad it worked, everting is fine now :)
Thanks guys

Ok Mr. still in high school. ::)

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

its not really ------- up a compression test.. its more like, the test was done right (you could even go by the instructions they give you, but the adapter, since tightening it makes it tigher, and when you try to loosen it, it will also come off of the end, you can get it stuck.

theres, nore really a mess up in there. thats like saying, since the socket got stuck on the bolt, you dont know how to use a rachet..

and btw, your still in h.s.? your opinions dont count then. ::)

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

how did you finally get it out ??

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

i think it was said that he put jb weld in there. if that is the case, he prolly put some on the end and let it sit in there overnight to harden and then removed the piece.

if not, that is one way that was talked about. i dont know. the post is too long to read the whole thing anyway

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

spenser's still in high school?

there is a pic of the plug JB welded to the adaptor

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

you're supposed to tighten the adapter on to the tester nice and tight before you thread it in the hole ::)

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

yah i know, i wasent paying attention i didnt know it was on there

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

i did the same thing the first compression test i did.

i bought a cheepo socket then threw it on the grinder. once it fit in the spark plug socket it was just a matter loosening it up then using needle nose to get it out. i think it was the same size as the spark plug in mm.

no mess btw... ;D

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

dude, not to be a dick but your an idiot! you see where the fitting is hex shaped on top. you're suppose to use the same socket you use to get the spark plug out!! it goes right on top of the fitting just like the spark plug. i do like the way you got it out though but all u needed to do was stick the socket for the spark plugs in there and loosen it..... it happened to me once but then it clicked... hope this helps...

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

trust me i was trying all types of differnt sockets! i just couldent seem to grip it :(

Re:compression test gone wrong
 

the adapter itself is prob.ly too short to be "gripped" by a spark plug socket.
