Try to avoid putting thread tape and sealers on glowplugs and other electrical sensors. The threads are the ground connection for the circuit, and thread tape and sealers can interfere with the connection.

When you try to get them back out after the engine has been running a while, you will probably have a lot of fun.
I use a "light" coat of never sieze on mine when I install them.
