broken glow plug help

[dstang97]

So i took out all of the glow plugs to test them and one was broken about 3/4 of inch. So I take out the injector and i can look right down the prechamber and its no where to be found. the motor seems fine when it was running. do you think my motor ate it? if so what should I do?

ez way to tell is if the tip of the injector (at the brake point) is black.. if so that plug has been broken for some time and the engine ate it. If you took the injector out and its no place your safe. I would still use a shop vac and give it a suck just to make sure.

yeah injector is out and looked like carbon all over it any thing I should do to it before it goes back in?

Just curious if i blow on the injector should it come out the nozzle?

If its not there then it broke apart and was blown out the exhaust, not much you can do.

Try using forceps also, westy is correct, hate to admit, shopvac works, might have to duct tape a small tube to grt a good seal on the opening.
