It had only been running for a few seconds in that video. It gets oil okay thankfully, and if the gauge is any good (and I probably should put another one on it to verify) it cranks at 60psi.

So there is absolutely an issue with the #8 cylinder, it's just a question of lifter, cam lobe, both, valve, valve spring.... etc.
