[MBZ] tonights project

[Luther Gulseth]

Had some hard starting problems on my SD here lately, then this last  
weekend the glow plug quit turning on.  Pulled out the 30-0-30 ammeter and  
verified 2,3,5 were all shorted out.  1 and 4 both acted like they should,  
30A draw slowly falling to 10-15A.  I fashioned a 3 stage glow plug reamer  
out of the 3 bad plugs, flattened each one out to different widths.   
Reamed all 5 holes out (#5 was a bear......).  The whole time we are  
watching the T-Storm to the west brewing and building.  We can see a  
strong updraft and upper level rotation indicating a probable tornado and  
large hail.  Got the plugs back in, and the injection lines back on and  
primed.  Started the car and it ran beautifully like it should.  Picked  
the tools up and washed up.  The sirens started sounding while I was  
washing up....wonderful, just enough time to finish the project and watch  
the radar and storm.  We're under a tornado warning right now, I LOVE  
SPRING!
