The coolant cavity I created will still be open behind the plug I install, but from the looks of things as is, coolant won't have any way of entering the prechamber. Downside - I am committed to only run on 5 GP's, but at least I MAY be able to run?
The issue you'll need to solve is keeping the remains of the glow plug from moving backward into the cavity. Maybe pack with JBWeld before you put in the plug?
