   Has anyone heard of or done an install of glow plugs onto the 516 HD11 motor? If so what did you do to accomplish this?

	The only one i have heard of was in the inlet manifold, those engines need to be turned over real fast to start ,with large batteries , good leeds , also if the fuel pump is warn or engine is down on compression will make it hard also, I had one that was hard to start used to have trouble turing over and had to keep the batteries well charged and had to use either , could only turn over for a short time before the batteries gave out , I put up with it for years as I thought that was just how it was,One day I got another starter motor for it put it on and couldnt believe how much quicker it spun over and how much better it started. no either glow plugs needed. cheers steve

	Years ago I was a partner in a small ski area and we had a couple of chairlifts that were supplied with Ford 6 cylinder diesel engines. Since the chairlifts came from Austria the engines were supplied from England with English accessories such as starter, alternator, clutch, etc. The cold weather starting assistance was a single glow plug in the intake manifold. There was also a fuel line to this glow plug so I don't know if it actually created a small fire in the intake manifold or how it worked but I do know that at -20 they would start right up with very little cranking. They may have worked fine at lower temperatures but we did not operate the ski area when it was colder. We may have had a block heater on the one engine that was closer to power but the second engine was too remote for a power service and as I remember both engines would start right up equally as well.
