I broke off a few glow plugs in changing them as well. The stems would swell
from repeated heating and wold stick in the hole. I just started the engine, and
the broken end flew right out of the hole!

Don't you use a block heater? I just replaced the stock 600 watt heater in mine
with a new 1000 watter. Hasn't really gotten cold enough to plug it in yet, but
here in Michigan it soon will be. By the way John, I didn't notice the '85 in
your header until after I posted my first message. The early 6.2s had a tendency
to break the main webbings in the block (they were undercut too much for
clearances). That was cured in 87 or 88. Joe
