Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Ive found with aluminum heads , it helps to try and tighten them first. It doesnt have to move much, just enough to break the grip. Then apply torque to loosen. Keep working it back and for a little at a time until you start to feel it free up. Sometimes it helps to toss a piece of pipe over a box end wrench to get better leverage with the lack of turning space.

Hey Patty - How'd ya make out? Didya get those reluctant glow plugs out and switched with new ones? Did the new ones fix your starting trouble? I'm sure I'm not the only one here who wants to know how your project went...

Well I went out and got the glow plugs, then drove around town lookin for a garage that was open. Finally when I found one I simple asked if they had some magic super tool to get the stubborn old glow plugs out. The mechanic happily came out and undid them mighty quick making me look very wimpy. Any how I changed em over right there in their parking lot.
Now it started right up, but I had the engine running for a while before hand so that didn't really mean anything. I waited two days (this morning) and went out and started it, still groaned but fired up much faster and didn't make so much fuss as it used too. Then I realized I didn't have the block heater plugged in. So I'm pretty confident that when I have both the block heater and the new glow plugs working together she will start nicely.
Only problem now is I keep forgetting to move the deli back up to the campus ( its down at a buddies house in PG) I took the head lights out. Gets dark here at like 4:15.

FIRED RIGHT UP!
feels like a brand new gas engine on a 40 degree day....but more diesely, haha
