Solved: I got my wife to come spray a shot of ether as I was starting it and it finally turned over. So the hole I created on starter and all was not an issue and it seems the glow plugs just need to be changed out at this point.
Thank You everyone for all your help!
Trying to include every detail I can think of, also on that hole I tapped out since the original hole is blocked by the tap, I used a Hex Head-Class 10.9 bolt to hold the three wires. Also, if there chance this is the problem will go borrow a welder and weld the original bolt back on the...
