The main reason that I chimed in was to make SURE that you are well aware of the consequences of turning over the engine without the glow plugs BEFORE putting them back in. If you forget and put them in before blowing as much fluid out of the cylinders as possible, you will bend, break or crack something.

Just trying to make sure that you know this.

Good luck with it.

It has be 30 years or so but I have seen Brake Fluid damage a paint on a Car when left over night. I believe there is something in it that could eat up Carbon.
I might try soaking one of the stock Injector Nozzles that I have that has carbon plugging up the central Pintel Hole and the cross drilled hole and see if it loosens it; and if Pop-testing afterwards will clear the carbon out.
