compression tester stuck in head
 

like the title says, this is so stupid. The hose just keeps twisting and twisting. I tried starting it on 3 cylinders hoping it would heat the head enough to expand the spark plug hole and let it go, didn't work. What should I do? :1

man that sux, that happened to us on my friends b16 but it wasn't spinning at all, the rubber kept wrinkling n twisting but not rotating. i dunno how they got it out tho cuz i left after an hour of trying. good luck :X

haha, I love these threads. Bambooseven did the same exact thing and was gonna tear the whole motor apart. lol. He ended up getting it out somehow. :D

They should make a tester with a solid hose. Would make a lot of sense for motors with the plugs sunk into the head.

i'm glad we've all done it before, who knows how to get it out?

Get one of these for next time. I've got one on order from my dealer. As far as getting yours out, did you try filling the hole with some PB blaster or something? It may help.

so the hose is still attached right....pull until the bitch breaks, then take a thin wall 19mm (i think) and get the tester out. you might have to grind down the outside of the socket. i did a similar thing: left the extension on the end of the tester, which got stuck down there
