Ahhh, now I understand! Thanks, Alan!

I've had some old engines that would blow fuel through the front bearing and always eating glow plugs....guess they may have needed new bearings, yes?

Anyway. I'll keep a close watch on this one. Going in a new build this month and we'll see how it does.

Thanks again for the great synopsis of the bearing failure....

....sure wish you lived next door...! LOL
