After this if the wires indeed past the test. You could either spray a little wd40 down the throat of the air filter with the cover off after a glow cycle. Or loosen one of the nuts on an injector to see if fuel is present when cranking.

Thanks, Barry. I've already observed the glow plug wires glowing and also used an IR thermometer to measure the temps of the actual glow plugs (between 170-210F), so I'm pretty sure all are working well enough. I've also had all injector nuts loose to bleed the lines in case there was any air. Fuel started flowing immediately at all four.

I think then next inevitable step is valve adjustment. As noted, just wanted to make sure I covered all bases.
