Yep......crank it through with no compression so any excess comes out the plug holes. I should have added that you risk "hydraulic" damage to the pistons and rods if put the glow plugs back in immediatly after pouring ATF in the cylinders.......it should not take much to lube those rings and loosen any coking that accured around the piston from the friction/heat
