Turning the engine over is MUCH smoother when the injectors (or glow
plugs) are removed from all 6 cylinders.

I'm afraid having no ADEQUATE help right now may be my biggest problem, too.
If I enlist SWMBO to help hold something, and it slips, we both may be
"ruined for life." Four friends are excellent managers and engineers, but
nearly worthless as mechanics. One of 'em helped me change oil in the 126
'bout 3 years ago using my $2 sucker when my tremor was so bad; 'spent most
of the time (long time) explaining every little thing to 'im. Most of 'em
were, "Why are you doing that? Why don't you just --- etc, etc? Why don't
you just crawl under it and take the plug out --- etc, etc? Wouldn't it be
better to just take it to a garage?" So it went for maybe coupla hours for
a job that I could normally do in 30 minutes or less, including getting
equip out, etc.
