A quick question for you techies . .
What is the torque setting for glowplugs in the 1KZ-TE motor ???
When I fitted a new cylinder head I checked the resistance of my Glowplugs:
The book says they should be 0.65 Ohms and if over 1.0 Ohm should be replaced.
Two of mine were 0.9 Ohms and two were 1.4 Ohms. Despite this it has (and does) always start 'on the button'.
However, the spoilt child now has four new glowplugs but I can't find a torque setting anywhere in the Ellery manual. When I swapped the old ones to the new head I did them up 'tight enough' - which is probably all they need
Any words of wisdom
Thanks in advance.
