Ater reading about swollen glowplugs I became paranoid about it happening to me,so I pulled my autolite 1112 fast starts and put in the 60s,they looked great even though I cycled almost twice the 7 seconds ,at least now i dont have to worry about swelling whenever i start now,also installed door...
