I would like to find the sob at champion, who decided that they should start making glowplugs, and kick him square in the balls
, twice. Two months ago, and I know its mostly my fault for doing so
, I put a set of champion plugs in Big Russ('90 F250). After drivin it a few times and a few good cold mornings, the glowplugs quit working. I checked them this morning, and they were all bad. Now, I figured something was amiss, and come to find out the gp controller took a dump, all the resin was melted, and that might be what took out the gps. At this point everything was going well, no hard feelings toward anyone, until I tried to pull them out. Three of the eight actually broke off in the head. I used a pair of vise grips and a heel bar to get the rest out. I thought that maby, just maby the tips were small enough to not cause any further problems, I was wrong. I've never heard an engine knock like that and keep all the rods inside. I spent all day pulling the head and picking pieces of glow plugs out of the pistons.
