But you've also used this conrod for the break-in of the engine?.....
Well time will tell, if you break your conrod in the next 1-2 litres of fuel, it probably was the problem.......
A glowplug will always keep working even if it loses it's "electrical" connection, so if the wire breaks and doesn't come loose, it will work, but after stopping the engine, and restarting it, the plug will not glow......
