If you need glow plugs I have 8 nearly new one's that I will sell. Changed them because I was getting my heads worked on. They are about 4 months old. Chris. Oh also check WIKI about changing the injectors and I think it is almost the same procedure removing the valve covers, then it takes 10mm? to remove them, just unplug, replace, and redo the valve covers. I think......

It's not that bad. The worst part is trying to get the passenger side valve cover off, particularly the two lower/rear bolts. I found the best way to get those two buggers was to use a small rachet and go at it from the right front wheel well.
Once you get the valve covers off, it's pretty easy as long as you don't have a stuck tip that breaks off and stays in there.
As long as you're in there, I suggest you get some of the little plastic wedges from Ford that lock the UVC wire harness connectors together. Those UVC connectors coming partially or totally apart account for probably more problems with the 7.3 than anything else.
