Loosen the Bolt/Nuts that hold the Power Stearing pump on the Bracket and locating the tensioner Bolt; which my case was hidden under one of the A/C Hoses. Don't tighten the Belt anymore than is needed to rotate the Engine.
When done readjust your Powersteering Belt Tension.
Removing the Glow Plugs or Injectors relieves all of the compression and allows the Engine to be rotated easily. When you do your next Valve adjustment you might time it with something like removing the Glow Plugs and reaming or otherwise cleaning the Carbon out of the Glow Plug holes so that they can be done together.

Diesel911, I have to ask someone for help I need desperately to get my 99 300td back on the road. Had the head off for extracting 4 broken GP's. At the same time had a valve job. Prior to removing the head I checked the timing it was less than 1 deg.. Marked chain and sprocket with paint. The head is back on but unable to match the marks, it probably needs another revolution to make it match. The problem, I can't crank beyond a certain point. Going back it stops at a certain point as well. You or someone may have the answer I would much appreciate.
