Evening All,
Basically a while back decided to kill my diesel run around, by snapping the glow plugs into the head.
Managed to drill out and heli coil three of four cylinders, however on the fourth part of the thread on the head snapped off.
Managed to get a heli coil to stay put and then reattached the snapped bit off using chemical metal. The car starts and runs fine, however on the fourth cylinder it's spewing out diesel and exhaust fumes near the glow plug. Would applying several layers of chemical metal over the whole of the glow plug area, offer any sort of additional strength or would the pressure continue to blow it open?
Thanks
