Run the engine, warm it up, then quickly pull the GP and do the compression test before it cools down ? or there is something I am missing ?

I believe the spec tells you a min temp of 70 degrees C. So if take the Engine for a 10-15 minute drive and when you come back the Engine temp is 80 something degrees C you have a little time to do the test before it drops to 70C.
It requires you to organize everthing before hand. Have all the tools ready.
You might even do a practice run on 1 or 2 of the hardest Cylinders to get at while the Engine is cold.
A 17mm Crows Foot on an Extension is handy for the Hard lines on the Injector and IP (or a 17mm Flare Nut Wrench). I do not have one but other Members like to use a 12mm Ratcheting Gear Wrencn on the Glow Plugs.
If you put the pointer over the Resourses button in the upper right hand corner and select and click on DIY Links you will find more detailed proceedures on the Compression Check.
