Glowslugs

RunningTooHot


Someone down the line gave good advice about checking glowplugs with a battery to be sure there is no internal short.Another excellant way kills two stones with one bird. Since you're toying with the idea of checking the injectors anyway,pull the injectors,turn the key to the glow position,and return to the engine compt and enjoy the show. Look into the prechambers and you should see each plug glow cheery red until the glow relay trips off. Also if you ever remove the head and have it machined you will need to install the prechambers with special spacer rings to insure proper depth from parting surface. Once this is done you ream the glowplug holes with a special reamer so the glowslugs will go in. Hope this answers some questions.
