You can borrow mine. Just got it from Diesel911. I don't really drink, so maybe just a quart of Rotella..... {China drinks enough for all of us}

You seem to be having fun with fonts......
Here is a thread with some pics of excellent homemade glow plug reamers.
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=205862
When you remove the glow plugs you insert the reamer and it cleans the carbon from the area around the glow plug tip inside the prechamber....

Saturday is going to be my only window for a while to do them. And if Jummy is gratious enough to offer, maybe my spare oil filter as compensation ?

That's fine. I'm just trying to help. Not in it for the compensation......
PM me and we will figure out how to get it to you before Saturday. Then you can just mail it back or we can figure something out.

You're welcome to borrow as well. I'm in Lewisville - roughly 35 and 121.

PM me if you need to coordinate.
