yea this may sound kind of dumb but yesterday during a compression test on my friends 240 sr20 the compression test adapter got stuck in cylinder 1. the compression however ran this way.
1= 155
2= 160
3= 120
4= 130

now thats the least of our concerns, we gotta get that adapter out.
ok fast forwarding, we put some lock tight on the other part of the hose and screwed up back to the adapter that is stuck in the cylinder with hopes of it bonding with the adapter and then being able to spin it out free. long story short it didnt work, now the whole compression test kit is stuck in the cylinder. and NO, we did not put any lock tight on the adapter for the part that goes to the plug. so here is our dilemma, any help would be gladly appreciate it.
and yes, we are idiots for doing this and plz dont flame.

thanks

 

can you get long needle nose pliers in there and grasp an edge and turn it? its happened to me before and thats how I got it out. after that i wrapped duck tape around the bottom piece and the hose.

 

we tried using the long needle nose pliers but it didn't turn, it kept slipping...

 

is it possible to at least get some wd or something to help seep and lubricate it? And then try to get it to spin? Best of luck. There is always a way just a matter of finding it. bump

 

use an ez out with a tap socket...that should take it right out of there

 

usually you can just use a sprk plug socket.

 

i have never heard of anyone doing this. you must have cross threaded it in there. good luck your probly fukt

 

and those compression numbers are no good

 

Take off the head to get to the other side

 

u get this thing out yet??

 

Ive always been paranoid about this exact scnerio. This is why I have the adapter tight as **** and loctited on there.

Try some red loctite or some epoxy on the threads and let it sit overnight.

 

I just did the exact same @#!!@$# thing.... I WAS going to try to glue the hose to the adapter aswell, but now im just scared.



EDIT: A little super glue and some twisting did the trick
