Looks promising. Did you pick that up at Harbor freight?Here’s a pic side by side

I'm going to be borrowing an inspection camera to see if I can take a look at the pre-chamber.I've run IDIs so retarded that they were smoking at idle, and ones so advanced it had no power at all, clattering like mad(both extreme cases involved with adjustments to get it right).
Ones with majorly leaking injectors, to the point that it doesn't fire on that cylinder for a while due to the line needing to be refilled...
I've *never* seen glow plugs destroyed like that.
If that was after 10K miles, I could see it being from timing... this is... something else. Something's majorly wrong, that's obvious.
One thought here - OP, can you measure a new glow plug? I'm curious what the glow plug length would be measured from the same spot on the engine(AKA, how much further the allen wrench goes below the glow plug tip before it stops.
Just wondering. My logic is that it upsets the spray pattern. There was a picture posted above (by David85) of glow plugs. My pic is a close up. The gp that is most similar to mine is the "broken off" one. The cause could be "dripping nozzel".Why would fuel on the glowplugs when it's running cause smoke?
Glowplugs are only on for starting...

How do you do the "mind blown" emoji? LolWell, you could take a burned up set, cut the rest of the electrode off, then reinstall and see what happens.

This is down the injector of number 2 cylinder. I used a light but it was just making a very small circle of light on the inside. I think this picture just happened to come out better. I don't know why I couldn't get a better shot earlier.Honestly I can't make heads or tails of what I'm seeing there. One thing you could try is removing the injector from the same cylinder and shining a light in through the second hole. That might make it easier to see inside the prechamber.
Great eye... I'm glad there's nothing serious going on. It further narrows things down. I'm still looking for a way to time the girl.Hmm...
Good images but unfortunately, I can't see anything abnormal there. What I can see is marked in the attached images.
