No reason to glow it with ether.

I didn't put ether in it. If the head is cracked, and it probably IS cracked,
that or a cracked block, its because of the massive overheating the time the
lower radiator hose clamp broke and the hose fell off.
I think I misstated the effect of ether, IIRC when ether hits the glow plugs it
lifts the head, ruining the studs.

Do you think that is what happened to that 240D with the cracked head? Was it
