LBZ Code P0678 Glow Plug Controller Error

Squirt them down with a 50-50 acetone/ATF mix for a couple of hours at least. I'd think the copper stuff is a better choice in this application. I wouldn't work on mine outside either Barry unless it's above 45* or so.

I replaced all 8 after I was getting peppered by one here, and one there. I saved all of my old ones and the newer ones that I had just replaced for future use. I think AC Delco is the way to go with these Glow Plugs. The package on mine said made in Germany. I assumed that maybe Bosch made them. I used anti-seize on the threads of all of the ones I replaced just to be safe. Just regular silver anti-seize.

I don't have any corrosion on my motor as we don't have the salt down in the winter. I need to get this done qand yes the 50/50 penetrating oil will be used. I was thinking the copper also as the head is aluminum and using the same might not be the best idea.
 
NEVER use copper based anti-seize against aluminum unless you want problems later on. Dissimilar metal corrosion is some nasty stuff, and aluminum and copper DON'T play well together.
 
I used high temp dielectric grease on mine. I figured it would help the ground side as well as assembly lube. I've never been a fan of Anti-seize except in specific applications, but never thought about the copper being a problem for aluminum. Not sure it is actually but I've never tried it.

Try using copper coat on an aluminum head gasket, it will eat the sucker up in a year or 2. My grandfather did it on his model T with an aftermarket head, he pulled it down 2 years later and it was ATE UP! I personally like anti-seize, then again I have spent a lot of time working on boats in salt water where anti-seize is your best friend if you want to be able to pull something apart later on.
 
Yes, I know what you mean. I use the old saying "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and again". I tease my buddies at the races when i win I use that now that I just am not on the podium as much as i use to be.
