Low compression

I have a 97 7.3 powerstroke with a laundry list of issues. Suspension, body, engine, trans they all need work. Most notably there is oil and diesel in coolant. I suspect oil is from an improper flush when the the oil cooler was replaced so I’ve narrowed that down to injector cups. However as I was watching videos on how to replace them I came across someone testing crank compression and realized my truck doesn’t sound correct when cranking occasionally. I’ll try to link and video for you guys to listen to and shoot ideas as to what it might be

That did not post the video how I thought it would. Basically it sounds like the first cycle all 8 fire correctly then it has two cycles where the starter revs up on a cylinder before starting
