i simply use nickel anti-seize and have never had a thought beyond that.
the glow plugs might be some level of stainless steel, if so thats why copper anti-seize in not recommended.
Bit of a curve ball, cleaned up the manifold and intake faces ready to put plugs in and found conflicting advice on using copper anti-sieze. Nickel seems to be the advice from Bosch so off to get some grease tomorrow.
Also couldn't get an ohm reading on 3 of the old plugs and 1 was well out of range.

Yep, some suggestion that copper anti-seize will lock the plugs in! Just waiting on my son to bring home a deep 10mm socket so I can torque them to 15nm.

Truck running...phew. Was a bit hard to start and stalled out on first go. I think the fuel system needed to pressure up after disconnecting? The 7mm nuts that go on top of the injectors went on but just kept turning without tightening up - bugger. Everything else went together OK with manifold done to 15nm... forgot to change the torque wrench when doing the plugs up so they got 15nm instead of a book value of 13nm. Hopefully ok.
