I got the comp. tester stuck (I GOT IT MORE STUCK)
 

I got the adapter piece of a compression tester stuck in cyl. #1 there is a hex nut on the outside of it, but the socket for that size will not fit in the spark plug tube. all there is is the female threads of the adapter to work with. any suggestions on getting it out?

BTW my compression was 185, 184, 177, 190 the standard is 184 should #1 and #4 be a problem? why would the compression be HIGHER then normal?

I have done this b4. Im pretty sure I found a long screwdriver that jammed into it well, and slowly unscrewed it.

Good luck

Ok, you could apply some sort of thread locker to the threads of the hose piece of the compression tester, then screw it into the adapter piece. Wait a little bit and slowly twist it out.

i did the same thing 2 weeks ago, the screwdriver trick worked for me.
