Not really. Just want accurate information and not another myth started that CDI injectors are nearly a foot long.

Edit: You got the old injectors back from the dealer. Did you measure them with a ruler? How did 6" become "nearly a foot long"?

Speaking of CDI glow plugs, which are longer and smaller in diameter (148.5 mm, 5.8" long M8 x 1 threads) vs 606 injectors (116 mm, 4.6" long M12 x 1.25 threads), I'd imagine carbon packing would make the CDI glow plugs much more prone to breakage and much more difficult to extract a broken one. Is that true in real life?
