INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

  • Before a new glow plug is installed, make sure that the thread of glow plug and glow plug bore in the cylinder head is dry, clean, and oil/grease-free
  • Check the resistance of the glow plug with an appropriate multi-meter, resistance should be less than 0.8Ω.
  • Tighten the glow plug by hand or means of a flexible tool (e.g. rubber hose) as far as possible and finish tightening with a correctly set torque wrench.
  • Strictly observe the required tightening torque.
  • Do not bend, knock, or drop the glow plug while installing.



CAUTION: If a fragment of the ceramic heater of the glow plug has fallen into the combustion chamber, the cylinder head MUST be removed.


CAUTION: Strictly observe the required tightening torque. If tightening torque was to high, remove and replace the glow plug.
