Oh, when did the clutched fan come into play... '82 or so? Not sure, there is no battery in the car. Sucks I know, it's either a jem or a POS.

What's the easiest method to turn this over by hand? Pop the glow plugs or injectors?

See if it turns over by hand, I can steal it for a VERY good price. I won't tell them anything, just say I'm gettin' it for a parts car.

If it'll turn over by hand I'd think the motor would be okay and I'll have to peep at the timing chain and cam as recommended on here too.
