Memory serves well. Ream the ports and get it really clean, Then
insert new plugs. If the plugs are not all the way in, they will not
heat the pre chamber enough and combustion will increase the carbon
build up. this will further cement the plugs in, burning up those
front plugs even faster.

When I recently removed the intake manifold off my '95 E300D (124 with
a 606
engine) , I changed the glow plugs.
The front 3 plugs required hours of coaxing finessing and arm strength
to
get them out. And the new ones went in with similar difficulty.
The new ones wrenched to specified torque with lots of thread still
showing.
The back 3 plugs came out with ease. And the new ones threaded all the
way
in by hand, then tightened normally with the torque wrench.
Seems like I've read about the injector ports filling with carbon and
causing these kinds of problem... Is my memory correct? What is the
correct way to fix this problem?
