RE: Enya 41-4CD back in production

I've always thought a company such as Enya could have done a lot better, especially at that price!!! A blank glow plug to bung up the hole for example!-why drill/tap the hole in the first place? & as...

RE: They eat Glow Plugs.......

Some times the remains of the blown plug will remain within the engine as small metal fragments, these will clobber the new plug when the engine starts, blowing that. This cycle will repeat until you...

RE: ENYA 41 4 STRK DIESEL NOW LISTED

I tend to agree with this & the test would seem to support my earlier comments in the earlier thread regarding this engine-even the 'plug' is just to bung up the hole!
I know any unusual engine...
