Both of the above are ture.
Reaming the carbon out will increase the Glow Plug life and a worn Engine will carbon up more than a new one.

Also Injectors with worn out Nozzles will shorten Glow Plug Life (and cause more Carbon build up).

Older vehicles need more maintenance and work to keep them going.

Rebuilders: I removed my Alternator to replace the Bearings. The sticker on the Alternator said "Rebuilt by Bosch North America". The bearing that went bad was made in China. So I conclude that Bosch is using the made in China Bearings during the rebuild.
