P-180 Glow plug boss
I'm helping out a friend with his older P-180. He had to remove the glow plug and noticed it unscrewed very hard. Once he got it out, the boss that it was screwed into (I think the combustor) kind of shifted backward. In the photo you can see that it is now 1/2 hole out of alignment.
I suspect there is an internal problem?
Thanks,
Jim

Cool, well all I said was that for some reason, I saw this issue mostly with P-200's (a close cousin to the P-180). If you can get the glow plug in without stripping it, then you are fine. In other words it is not indicative of other damage, just a wonky alignment of the internal threaded boss.
