I wouldn't suggest doing this to a good engine but heres what I did after finding LOW compression on a TD I bought. (I couldn't get it started by towing.) I needed to get it started to make a determanition of how it "drove". I squerted a 50/50 mix of lub oil and ATF into the GP holes, enough to hydro lock the engine when turning by hand, waited a hour or so, engine not locked anymore. It fired right up long enough to drive around a couple a couple hours and check out the car. That was really a 'last ditch" effort.
