I pulled out the glow plugs and I can tell it’s not anywhere near as much pressure as the others

I THINK Jarrett's kit at my house or I mailed it to someone. Let me check PMs when on a PC to see.

100% run a comp test while access easy. Once diagnosed low cylinder(s) I would do a leakdown to see where potentially the issue is located. Head or bottom end.

Took out the push rod on that cylinder heard a spring pop. Put a different one in and started it up. All is well. Except now I’m hearing a clicking, so I’m sure I have a bad lifter. . 😱
