well expletive, i was doing a comp test and one of the little adapters stayed in the head, i am trying to get it out. i put a ton of LOCTITE on the comp tester hose threaded it back into the stuck adapter in the head and hoep it sets up hard and pull the stuck peice out. if not, im going to have to get a reverse drill bit and easily and slowly work it back out. it already has a hole on it through the middle obviously so the air can go threw it and into the gauge

 

damnit wadel, that is quite a little problem. How hard did you screw that sucker in there? I have never had that happen to me. The Loctite sounds like a good idea....if that doesnt work JB weld might

 

why are u on here andy, LOL. the reverse bit was to big, so now the loc tite is setting up, and then if it fails JB is next. i didnt do it tight. just luck of the draw

 

i'm crying right now...

did a deer come up and hit the car too?

back on topic, are you talking about the little fitting that is metal and solid that extends the hose? If so, the one i have has a 17mm head on the top of it. does it have a rounded top? if not, get out a socket, unscrew. Otherwise screw in, and move it back and forth some and unscrew. sometimes youjust need to get pressure on it.

 

WTF.....hope you get that f..ker out. I'll be carefull on my next time Good luck Wade

 

no sean, it is round and in IN the head, just maybe like 1 inch long total, the loc tite is setting up, i hope it works. i gotta be at UofL in 30 min, if not, o well. but jb weld is next

 

this forum is great for anyone who wants to learn a lot about turbo's. I already know a lot but there is so much good info that goes around in this forum, so I read it basically every day...I just dont post very often

 

go buy some desiel spark plugs

how was the compression test anyways?

sounds like your guage is different than mine, either way, totally round surface can still get a socket and pound it on.

 

Mine definitley has enough on it that you can get a socket on it to get it out. That happened when we were working on a 300zx, what a pain in the ***.

 

if it dosent work , take a big screw driver flat blade and pound it into the adapter, and just take it out , that is how i got mine out , haha , i figure my motor is way more valuable than the 5 dollar adapter,

 

loctite worked, he got it out.

 

thanks for adding sean, i am at school inbetween classes now. i Love loctite now. now im going to valley saturday for 7s! ha, i doubt it

 

guess I'm too late to help here, but I had the same thing happen and a couple of small drops of superglue saved the day for me. The best part about superglue is that it hardens right up - put it on the hose end, tighten up, wait 1 minute and remove.
