Chris - I'm just taking a WAG, but If your valves are just a bit tight I could see where it might make enough difference before the engine could warm up a bit and combustion chamber pressure would improve from the increased temperature. The glow plugs would possibly be enough to get it to start but when they shut off you fall short.
