If you pull the glow plugs and use whats been suggested, I prefer Marvel Mystery oil, then it will free up. Leave the plugs out while you turn the engine.
That way it cannot hydrolock.

ATF = Automatic Transmission Fluid.

Oooh, ok.
I wasn't sure what to do with the glow plugs, but that makes sense.
Yea, I knew ATF was automatic trans fluid, but I wasn't sure if that was an acronym for something diesel related
Pardon my newb-ness.

I'm moving this thread to the "garage" section since its going to be more of a build thread.

Jason
Yea, well that rusty hatch will be replaced as soon as it gets warm enough to seal the window glass into the spare hatch I got with the car.
The guy gave me a bunch of odds and ends to help restore this boat, but they are all relatively useless haha.

I will definitely do my best to restore this thing, and I guess do a little resto-mod work while I am at it
And yea, the pics, they will be plentiful.
I am a digital film editor, so I will probably do a couple videos as well.

Thanks, Jason.
I will definitely keep this thread from dying

Are there any Volvo Diesel guys around the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton are of PA?
I will be going to harry's-u-pull it quite often now, so it would be cool to meet up with fellow enthusiasts.
