Hello all.
Earlier today I was replacing the junk Autolite glow plugs in my 6.9idi, they where put in by a mechanic shop 5000 miles ago. They worked fine, but I didnt want to wait for them to swell. Ive been told to only run the ford Motorcraft plugs, so that is what I've put in. All the plugs came out real easy. The glow plug attached in the image came out with no trouble. I just want a second opinion if it looks like it was just melted (Autolites tend to do that) or if a tiny piece might've broken off? I would rather not destroy my engine
Thanks
