So I noticed this...
Pull the valve cover and went to pull the glow plug out and the whole time I was loosening it, it was extremely tight, and squeaking terribly. I know I unthreaded it completely because I wrenched on it for a long time to see if it would stop squeaking. But the glow plug will literally not budge in coming out. Even came down to clamping vice grips on the plug and prying it up and the vice grips would not hold and the glow plug never budged.
So I'm starting to think that the glow plug tip expanded/melted and simply won't fit out through the bore?
Has anyone heard of this?
It's really looking like it isn't going to come out, is this going to force me to pull the head in order to remove it? I feel like it's so stuck that if it does come out it will separate and break in half and leave me with the bottom part falling onto the piston.
