Cooljay,

I currently have the injectors out of my OM617. I would like to give the MMO treatment a shot. Two questions. 1) Can I add the MMO in through the prechambers where the injectors came out (I don't want to have to pull perfectly working glow plugs) 2) To blow it all out before I put the injectors back in and start it, can I again just wire the stop lever back to keep the IP from spraying fuel and crank a few times?

Thanks,

Glenn
