Default RE: engine and glow plug question

I tried sending you links but my email failed. I will try again.

Also sign up for the site that the first two links send you to.

After all is said and done glow plugs are expendable and you must experiment with what works for your engine. The OS plugs and the McCoy are a good place to start.

After you break in your engine and it works well with that plug replace it with the same plug since the break in process takes it's toll on the glow plug.

Hope this all helps
