After thoroughly lubricating your nitro RC engine with the after-burn oil, place the glow plug washer on the glow plug and install the glow plug back in the cylinder head.

Don't forget to install the glow plug wire (if equipped) back on your glow plug. Using a pair of needlenose pliers makes short work of this process.

After completing the after-burn oil maintenance you can choose to race some more or clean it up and set aside for another day.
