Thanks to all that replied to the help me out.

I have the new gasket and valve cover harness installed and tested. Ran out of daylight to get all the bolts into the valve cover.
Glad you figured it out and got it fixed! I should mention that you should use an ohm meter and check the resistance on your glow plugs, to be melted like that I would think you have a bad glow plug with too much resistance .

Where the male plugs on the outside harness ok ?

Glow plugs

I check the glow plugs. They are between 1.2 and 1.6 ohms.
