Does anyone read the FSM ?
If the carbon builds up in front of the glowplugs... it happens gradually.... finally hitting, if the rest of the system is strong.... when you need it in the winter.. IF all your other system things are strong enough to not need it in warm weather.
Anyone consider what bad effects might come from using the wrong ' drill ' or a homemade reamer of the wrong size ? Is it worth the chance ? Is there one available in our loaner system ?
Also.. if the carbon builds up to where it touches the glow plug... that can short/burn it out.... so some ' preventative maintenance ' might be worth it . Every few Decades.. lol
