My compression tester is stuck in the #1 spark plug hole. Its the threaded type with the O-ring seal. Any idea how to get this thing out without taking the engine apart. Compression was 185 BTW.

How did you tighten it down then?Yellow 13 said:The problem is the hose spins independant of the threaded part.

Ive at least got the piece of mind knowing that it fired up and ran.
