Yeh I wanted to a compression test just to check the condition of engine. That truck was in an accident so the only thing I got left is trans and motor. I sold the rest of the good parts. That engine could be going in another truck. So it will go on a stand, change some parts and into that truck. Is there a wiring harness just for the glow plugs? Or do I have to replace the injector and Glow plug harness?
Thanks
Thanks
But you should see that already, you have the valve cover off.

Well I pulled the glow plug the other day and found a little hole in it. Today I pulled the rest to check physical condition. Here is some pics.
In this pic you can see the bad glow plug with the hole in it. Also see the difference in color.
Here is another. Why is the body different color? Still cant figure out what happen to the top piece of the bad glow plug.

The bad glow plug is discolored because it had all that combustion heat blowing up through it.
You are very fortunate for the fact that the tip didn't break off and get knocked around inside the combustion chamber.
It would have damaged the piston crown pretty badly.

Can the glow plug be tested out of the engine?
