I've been using Monark brand glow plugs for some time now with good results .

If you reaplaced the rubber rockerbox gasket once recently , it's prolly just shifted during assembly or maybe you didn't clean out all the crud & munge around the perimiter of the cyinder head where it must needs be *clean* to seal .

I use whatever brand rubber gasket my European Parthaus has on hand , I forget the brand name but not necessary to buy Dealer gasket , Tom @ The Classic Center will fix you up with the top quality Dealer gasket cheapset & shipped to your door .

Is it that difficult to chang it right? He says there is a trick? Only use a mercedes brand gasket? My driveway would love it to stop.
