Abstract
A method of servicing a gas turbine engine having an igniter socket, the method comprising: inserting a glow plug into the igniter socket of the gas turbine engine until a rod end of a glow plug heater rod of the glow plug is exposed to a combustion chamber of the gas turbine engine; and blocking a gap between the glow plug heater rod and an aperture defined in a combustor liner of the gas turbine engine to block fluid communication between the combustion chamber and an environment outside the combustion chamber via the aperture.
