The difference being the glow plug sees really high temps about never
and the exhaust stud sees really high temps about always.


I have BTDT.  Fought it for a couple years before I finally gave up and
pulled the exhaust and thermostat housing to get to the l/h rear upper
stud. Took a couple hours to install the Keen-sert and now it's FIXED! I
had tried every band-aid known to man.  JB Weld, Loctite, helicoil...
Finally Keen-sert. No more pulled stud.
