Anyone with questions, feel free to call/fax/e-mail/snail mail as needed.
This is only a generic engine drawing, to illustrate the concept.

For those not willing to do as in you pic they could at least do an oil change; remove the Glow Plugs squirt oil into the holes; wait for said oil to get down to the pistons and crank the Engine with the Glow Plugs still out of the Engine until the Oil Pressure is up.
The same for a newly rebuilt Engine except that you should rotate the Engine by hand min of 2 complete turns to make sure nothing will hang up inside the Engine.
Also I would not carnk an Engine over if the fuel in that tank has also been sitting there for years.
