Hi, Tried changing the glow plugs, snapped the first one. now require head removing as its just the tip left.
My issue is i want all parts there so i can get cracked on, but dont know what thickness my head gasket is, so...would it matter if i just stuck the thickest one on?
Or is it easy to see notches without stripping down first?
Any info/guidance appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
