So a update here, I did a compression test with what I would call not great results.
Cylinder
1 = 165
2 = 180
3 = 180
4 = couldn't get the fitting connected under the hard lines.
5 = 205
6 = 250
7 = 200
8 = 195
Doing the compression test was done as follows:
Disconect the white control cable on the glow plug controller and disconnect the two cables from the injection pump. I purged the cylinders and didn't observe anything exit them. I then Installed the test fitting in the glow plug port and then connect the test gauge, crank engine over 6 times ( gauge stopped going up after 5 cranks) I did the two times per cylinder. Then recorded the 2 sets of numbers, first and second set of numbers were within 3-5 psi of each other most were exactly the same.
I had to cut the test fitting down to fit and I am not sure if it is mating to the bottom of the glow plug port properly. I didn't hear and pressure release after the cranking, but doesn't mean it wasn't.
I had also tried starting the truck the day before and when I pulled the glow plugs they were dry except for number 2 cylinder.
Not sure what to do now.
