Yeaah,after removal, all were tested 1 by 1 on battery+ also with a trustful device just to see how it was possible at all. I`m amazed car managed to start with 3 of 6 being 100% dead.
My YT video (sounds only) shows how badly it started by long crankings. (Subzero temps circa -4,-7C) I believe the link is working now.I changed the title to `Glow baby,glow!` on www.youtube.com.

For speculation,I wish I knew which ones went out (Cyl #) but I achieved making a complete `mess` while doing it so we can`t have such info. (#6 was one of the good ones & I`m guessing on #5 #2 too.
I do hope you are right. I`m planning on testing the compression (great to know things) but i`m afraid that my `to-do`, `must-do`, `should-do` lists are all too long so the next possible best time for it is when I finally hike up to beautiful Maine to pay respect and enjoy Tom`s pro pump service.
