Help! Im a Dumbass

ok guys heres my first ever dumbass thing ive ever done to my honda. last night i was cleaning my car and though, "hey lets check my compression" so i did. they were all very good. except number was 90 when the rest were at 120 and 118. still within 80 percent. so i went to put the coils back on and the number 3 would go all the way down. so i pulled the plug and noticed the the electrodes were smashed. so i bought a new one. and being the dumbass that i am pput it on without checking to see if maybe the end of my compression tester was still stuck in the head. so this on broke off and now i have 4 electrodes in my head somewhere along with a reducer for my compression tester. i dont think the threads are stripped on the head, but i dont know how to get that out. and i also dont know if the electrodes that are in my engine will leave via the exhaust ports or if they will stay in there and cause problems. any help would be greatly appreciated. and if any one has a NON-VTEC head for a d17 that is still in excelent condition and wants to sell it to me. let me know. cuz i might be doing that. thanks. o, and i know i know, im a dumbass.

Re: Help! Im a Dumbass

ok first off let me see if i understand you have four electrodes stuck in the spark plug holes or can you see the piston if something metal dropped in to the cylinder id get a small magnet and fish it out. if you broke the spark plug off like you would a light bulb in a old socket then just find something to stuck in there and unscrew it if you cant then take the head off and take out the sparkplugs from there
does that help if not then maybe i just dont understand

If you cant fish it out of the cylinder with a magnet, youre gonna most likely have to pull the head off.

Maybe you can use a shop vac with some clear hose and Mcgyver it out ..:-\

Re: Help! Im a Dumbass

well i got the end of the compression tester out, but i think the threads might be stripped. so for now im gonna try and get the peices out of the cylinder and put a plug on and save for a new head. maybe even a v-tec head. but i dont know for sure. yet.
