Pressed down air meter plate - flooded ?

[Q]

W126

I was warming up the engine to do a compression test and cleaning the air meter plate/body with throttle body cleaner. Thinking that the plate and engine speed were connected, I stupidly pressed down on the plate with my finger to inject more cleaner past the plate. I was very gentle and only pressed it down 2mm, but the engine immediately died. It would not restart after 3 10 second attempts. I simply flooded it, right?

Since then, I have pulled the fuel pump relay and all the plugs. Then, I did my compression test and will not reassemble until I get my timing chain in.

My compression readings looked good. 178 psi for the low and 184 psi for the high.

The other good news was that none of my cam lobes seems to be bad. One had a very then score line around it's rotational axis, but it was about as wide as a hair and I couldn't feel it with my finger-tip.
