You did not mention if you cleaned the Carbon out of the Glow Plug holes before you installed the New ones?
Some Members have said pulling the Plugs and cleaning the Carbon out made starting easier.

I had a Glow Plug that Ohmed out OK but when I tested it over the Battery Terminals it got hottest in the Middle instead of at the Tip where it is supposed to be hottest. That meant the Heat was heating up the Cylinder Head instead of the Air in the Prechamber.
