Glowplug removal

Pulled my GPs and reamed today...

Took some pictures, here are my GPs.





I bought a 7mm drillbit from mcmaster. Jobber length was too long, needed to get a short bit. Was about $3.50. Coated it in mystic jt-6 grease.



I had to do each hole twice (two greasings). The first time for most I had to work it in the opening a bit to get it past some initial resistance. This required pushing in, pulling out a bit, pushing in again and then working it a bit. I'd usually twirl it forward and reverse and would feel resistance decreasing. Usually pulling and regressing, I'd get it to bottom out the second time. Some had a lot of resistance to initially get in, others next to none.

I'd get lots of fine carbon and a few chunks...





After all that we blew it out by cranking. I pulled the injector spider, but even with the stop lever pressed, the pump side still leaked fuel onto the towel I had covering it...
