Broken Glow Plug
I recently got a 1987 f250 with a 6.9 idi and when i got it the motor was locked up(it’s still locked up) but i took some advice from a friend too pull the glow plugs out and pour atf down the cylinders to free the rings up in the process cylinder ones glow plug snapped in the head so i pulled the head off to inspect the cylinders and get the plug out and in the idi’s there’s a pre-combustion cup/chambers and the piece of glow plug fell into the cup does anybody have any advice/ know how i would remove it.

This thread from 2009 says the cups have been discontinued, but the poster is able to purchase them.
