Is it smart to get grease in the prechambers, or am I better off maybe dipping the tool into oil which might have fewer ramifications?
Should I blow compressed air in or such vacuum on the hole before cranking to blow them out?
Thanks!

No one has tested a Glow Plug Reamer against a Drill Bit or any other of the cleaning methods to say which works better.
People seem to pic what ever method they want to use and stick with that.
But, the Factory Service Manual and from what I have read the general consensus of forum members is that it is believed cleaning the Carbon out with something extends the life of the Glow Plugs.
From my notes Hunter speaking of Glow Plugs dieing due to Carbon insulation
