Question

Today I adjusted all valves and I found three exhaust valves gap too small.
It was less than .35 mm with cold engine. After all ten valves adjusted properly I performed the compression test with engine at room temperature.
Just to have an idea the outside temperature today was around F 85.
I used heat shield between adapter and cylinder block and crank the engine for a complete eight turns as suggested by Mercedes Benz manual.
Here is the numbers that I got:

Cylinder #1: 330 PSI Cylinder #2: 320 PSI Cylinder #3: 330 PSI
Cylinder #4: 400 PSI Cylinder #5: 300 PSI

As cylinder #4 gave me number higher than all others I retest it after finish cylinder #5 and I got the same reading than before; 400 PSI
Then I put back in place clean and tested injectors, tubing's from IP to injectors and start bleeding air from tubing's before have it complete tighten at injector. When I start cranking my engine to bleed air my battery was week and then I let it charging to finish tomorrow.
I will appreciate if someone have some observation or correction on the job performed.
