another glow plug ?
I have a nt-16 in my MT and just put the .18 sleeve,piston,and rod in it. What glow plug should I use? Both of the stock ones I have crapped out breaking in the engine.

I used OS A5's on my converted NT16 and they worked really well. For break in though you might want to use a hotter plug like the A3 then switch to the A5's after break in.

Sweet, is it worth it to upgrade to the .18 internals? Do you really feel it? I like my MT2, but i wish it had a little more low-end :-) Thanks!

Yes there is an increase in bottom end torque and you will notice it. I would suggest it after you have worn out the .16 and need to rebuild it. It is a whole lot cheaper than a new motor.
The conversion has been discussed more thouroghly in other threads
