Compression.

How do I start my engine when I have compression? Anyone know how to make it go away/remove it?

you can loosen the glow plug, then once you have started the engine up tighten the glow plug back up.

How far should I loosen the glow plug?

About a quarter turn. Never more than half. Just enough to let out enough compression to make starting easier.

Alright, I'll try this. Thanks!

heat it up with a heat gun

Will a hairdryer work?

It will help. Getting the engine up to around 200F is preferable, but I've had good results once they are at 90F+.
