compression test gone wrong

[Joel]

so I was doing a compression test on my civic and I left the compression tester threaded in the spark plug hole for a couple days and now I can seem to get it out... anyone have any ideas?

[DrifterExtreme]

have you tried a really long bolt with that thread pitch maybe put some lock tight on the threads and thread it in. then let it sit. idk

[Joel]

the hose is stuck on too... the tester I had is only 2 pieces afaik, The dial indicator comes off and the hose and threaded fitting are all in one piece.

spray pb blaster in that shit and twist like crazy. why did you leave it in after the comp test?

1. Remove head
2. Vise grips on tester
3. Remove tester
4. Reinstall head

if it's the civic just leave it and smash it into stuff then crush it... or just say fuck it and pay like all of $20 the head is worth and get a different one...

keep twisting as much as you can and see if it frees up, if not pull really hard and try pop the hose part off (cant make it any worse), then there should be a "nipple" exposed that was holding the hose on, take a 1/4 rachet (sp) 1/4 long extension, and a 7/32 socket.... pound the socket on the "nipple" and try loosening it.... this is what i did to mine when it got stuck haha although mine was in three parts so idk if that helped me or not
