So I think I'm royally screwed.
OK anyone with insight PLEASE help me out..
I was doing a compression test, and the adapter on the end of the compression tester got stuck in my no. 2 cylinder spark plug hole and WON'T COME OUT.
I can't fit a socket around it, I tried hammering a screwdriver into it to turn it out but that didn't work either. You can't get to the spark plug tubes through the valve cover either...
any ideas? I'm really out of ideas over here...

Welp, the screw extractor did it! I got it out, put her back together, and she purrs like a kitten.
I'm celebrating by putting some stoli in my slurpee. (just turned 21 like 2 days ago). w00t. Rep to KnuckleBuckett.

I was pretty close to a panic attack LOL.
I kept trying to think of ways to get the possible metal shavings out of there, but what would I do? The piece I had was aluminum, so magnets are out. The spark plug holes are WAY recessed, so I couldn't even see in there. I eventually just cranked the motor over with no spark plug in that hole to *hopefully* blow it out.
On the bright side, my compression numbers were good at 215 210 220 220
