Before I got it. I also turned it over by hand. It was a little stiff due to some rust haze in the cylinders as far as I could tell. The most suprizing thing to me was there was still pressure in the injector line I first unhooked to bleed out. So I put some fresh fuel in the tank. Some fresh cheep oil in the crankcase(I planned on running the engine about an hour and changing the oil again). And after about 8 seconds on the glow plugs. And 10 seconds of cranking. She fired up. Even though I didn't bleed the whole system. That old fuel in the lines reeked something awfull coming out the exhaust. But once she got to the fresh fuel,no problems. Love diesels.
