I'm summing it up to bad day. Problem was in the works. Compression check may have shown more. live and learn. May get compression tool for future use.

I have a new item to add to the list of my annual check up items. Drain oil, check oil pick-up for any debris. (and of course.... stare at pretty internals of my new Flat6 engine)

While starting a car on jacks is not a safe way of doing maintnenance, I doubt if it caused your issues. Sorry for the bad luck...
