010 head stops glowing

Went back and read every response from Andras's initial post forward.  Interesting evolution as great minds combined to identify and hopefully resolve the issue.  1200 grit and a smooth glass surface solves many problems.  Levents gap, Mauricio's Spanish, Math, Intrigue - reads like a Raymond Chandler novel.   Bernie + Matt ='s our gratitude. (My math)

I’m not blaming Matt or Bernie. Here is another one, part fail. Lol  It just goes to show that every once in awhile there is some miner issues wth manufacturing. Lol so I order some parts from Matt, almost a monthly thing for me. So I get this engine together and I look at it again and I realize something is wrong. So I take it back apart and I’m trying to figure out how did I screw this up? I kept turning the tank and its a no go. Lol Take a close look at the photo and see if you can spot the problem.
I got a hold of Matt and he replaced it right away.
Thanks Matt for your great service

Although we did have some leaky 049 heads some years ago (they were not properly pressed), we did not come across any 010 versions like this so far. Which doesn't mean that it can't happen. Again, we warrant what we sell.

It doesn't hold the engine running at low rpm, probably due to pressure loss.
It is dated the day of the test in the plastic envelope: 08/04/2019, (April 4, 2019).
The other glow plug on the right came with this one, but I haven't used it yet, (I put a Cox Vintage glow plug on my engine).
I don't remember the exact supplier, but it is possible that they come from Mr. Bernie, since he buys some accessories through my importer, Mr. Ojeda.

Indicated with an oval and green arrow .010 that's original vendor handwriting, someone on the vendor's team might be able to recognize it.

Mr. Bernie only the letter marked in green is that of the supplier. everything else is my own handwriting, do you understand? In my comment I try to indicate that.
I can maybe trace the supplier, I have to contact the importer and see if he has the order, but I don't claim anything, I just share a personal experience.

I understand that some part can fail. I do not claim anything, I repeat, I only share this experience.
Exactly when I detected the problem, I discarded the glow plug and I didn't inform him of anything, it is that I keep in mind that this can happen, we are very far away (cost distance) and I let it go.
I appreciate your attention and your support, if at any time I make an order, I remind you.
A hug from Argentina, thank you.
