Hey guys somehow I stripped the threads in the head for the glow plug any ideas as to what may have caused this. Has this happened to anyone else.
 
Yeah,you're the first one to ever do that LOL :hehe:

This is usually caused by one of 3 things, 1 you over-tightened the glow plug,2 you cross-threaded the glow plug or 3 you changed glow plugs so much you wore out the threads and then stripped them by over-tightening the glow plug.

I believe on the K4.6 you can just replace the head button. Some engines the whole head has to be replaced.
 
Yea i think i my have over tightened it and the k 4.6 you need to replace the whole head the newer f4.6 has the button. I ordered one for 12 bucks cheap fix thank god.
