I found a SP-355 Lehman that has not run in 4 years. The owner had fill the crankcase with 10wt oil and sprayed fogger down the air intake, also close off the exhaust. I am afraid to just hook up a battery and hit the started. May have water in Cyl. May have rust on rings an that would just break them. I am looking for advice on what steps to take before I just turn it over to see if free. With a gas engine I would pull the plugs and spray rust buster type solvent into cyl. and try to turn over slowly with crow bar on fly wheel. Not that simple with a 474 CID diesel engine.* Thank you for any advice.
