checked glow plugs, broke some valve?

Ok, I bought a ohm meter and did a glowplug check. checking at the gp relay. I got 1.2 ohms on 2,3,&4. terminal 1 did not work. Is that enough to keep it from starting, I wouldn't think so.

by the way which is the glow plug indicator on the dash?!!! is it the coil looking one or the one that looks like a sun? the one that looks like a sun stays on and never comes off. the coil light comes on then off pretty quickly.
The temp. gauge never seems to move though. I live in houston and its 100 degrees here. so shouldn't it start regardless of the glow plugs?

I think im going to wait on the push starting. I think I will buy a compression tester and see if im getting compression.

Oh, and its the fuel injection return lines that are rotten. I bought some vacuum hose and replaced the return lines. they do not leak when priming. I know they are not made to transport fuel put they are temporary until the proper ones i ordered com in.

yesterday I took the fuel injector lines off (the metal ones). The fuel injector works as it squirted diesel when cranking and having the lines off

I also took of the crank case cover. the camshaft looks really good and the timing belt looked nice and clean. everything LookeD well oiled and in very good condition. I put everything back together.


Lastly, I broke some flow valve on the vacumm line. it was connected between the vaccum pump and a big black round disk thing behind the brake fluid container. It was a one way valve and had two nipples where smaller vaccumm lines connected to. Does anyone know what the name of this is and where to order another one. I've looked online and cant seem to find anything that looks like it.

THANKS FOREVERYONES HELP
