Glow Plug part # - Im confused (1 Viewer)

[Radd Cruisers]

To answer the question "how does the vehicle start with the 16v plugs"? It started fine for the last two years, but after this cold winter here in BC i started finding myself have to initiate the glow for a minute or more to get the thing to start. I was also noticing more smoke than usual at start up. I will try installing some 10.5 v plugs in the next couple of days.

They will start on compression alone, but not well in really cold temperatures.

They may have been adding just enough heat... they are not even the right plugs for a Land Cruiser 3B. They look like they are for a 3L (or one of the L engine family).

Replaced the plugs yesterday with the 10.5v and man what a difference! This morning was a little chilly so i depressed the wilson switch for about 10-15 sec and she fired up right away, no smoke, no stuttering.

I just want to thank everyone for all their input!
