Layback, please refrain in the future of what I should post on my thread/s -- if you don't like it reserve it. We live in America and if you don't like our own opinion/s that's to bad. I was just giving a link like everybody else does!

I think what he meant was it's a faux pas to provide an outside parts link other than peachparts since this is their forum.

If you want to send a particular someone an outside parts link PM them..

Still using the original glow plugs in mine. Beru

I went to NAPA and they gave me Bosch branded ones. Still holding up pretty well.

How important is reaming the hole before inserting?

The Factory Service Manual recommends it

Consensus is that Carbon build up shortens the life of the Glow Plugs.
There are alternative methods of cleaning the holes out in the DIY Section.

Too bad the glow plug kit isn't available for '86/'87 OM603 or I'd consider it. Heard a lot of good things about Beru GPs I was going to order some if mine turned out to be bad.
