got my car need some help :(

[SokuShi]

well, i got my car today CEN GTX-1 looks pretty solid theres a problem I'm working on breaking the engine in and its really hard to pull the starter, and upon examining the piston through the glow hole thers a ring where it is hitting the glow plug, is it suppose to hit it? if not can i just add another little copper spacer? thanks for your imput.

are you using the glow plug that they recomend? i would add another copped washer for now until u do get the right ones.

Agreed when breaking in a motor especially a big block .21 or bigger it is not a bad idea to use an extra copper washer around the plug.

The glow plug shouldn't be hitting the piston. Check the documentation and see what they suggest.

I'm using the glow plug they supplied with the car its a .16 engine so ill add another washer for the time being. what plug would you recomend for a engine this size?

maybe they accidentally put the wrong plug in my car? it says mine came with a standard short cold plug

I'd replace it with an os A8. It's a good medium temp plug that will work in just about anything.

I ran os's A3 in my os 15 cv-r(x) for 6 gallons and never had a problem.
