i have been having glow plug problems, I replaced glow plugs, and relay and am installing a manual glow plug switch. My question in how long do i need to fire glow plugs without harming or exploding them?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I count to 500 cause that is about what it will cost if you overheat the glow plugs and just 1 glow plug bulges and breaks off inside the combustion chamber or you can't get it out of the head. I know it is the worst case scenario. But why not fix it the right way like other members have suggested. What if someone else borrows it or just try's to move it for you and over glows it. Its real it does happen. It is not worth it. And as a gentlemen I agree to disagree with anyone that says it don't and can't. Stop the cobbling of things and fix it the way it was intended. My opinion again. Oh yea you can R & R the heads yourself for about $300. in parts. And it is a fun job. Not worth the risk. Please fix it right the first time. All the parts are still available.
If you look around, a few people have repaired their glow plug control cards. According to them, it's only 3 components that cause 90% of the failures.
