I haven't got much time for the car these days because spring is here. I began following your advice and pulled the injectors and shields to add oil to the cylinders. After doing that I turned the key to the second position and noticed the glow plugs weren't glowing but the light on the dash did illuminate. So I followed the Book's GP fault tracing procedure and everything checked out. I then disconnected the copper strip to isolate the GPs and connect directly to the battery with negative (no glow) results. A year ago they each glowed brilliantly before installing when connected directly to a 12V source. So before continuing I will attempt to resolve the GP issue. Also...I observed an inordinate amount of blow-by while cranking.
