He bought the old type loop glow plugs rather than the new pencil type. Oh... ok. :-) |
So: the torque should be:
20 Nm for the glow plug
3.5 Nm for the contact.
It's extremely easy to screw up the plug in the insulator, shorting it.
So, it's a good idea to use a torque-controlled key. Maybe that's what
happened. Randall doesn't need this info, now (his glow pugs are
probably already damaged, now) but this is for future reference, whoever
will be reading us in the future.
