I'll tell you a story which my dad told me. He worked as a machinist at a locomotive plant. He noticed in the field a diesel engine that he was told the engine was frozen. He moved it to the machine shop removed the injectors and filled them with either diesel fuel or a light oil. Every day he would just bump the engine on the starter. Not to turn it over or move it, just bump, bump. After a time he was able to manually turn the engine. He tried to get the fellow workers to bet him if it would start after the 2nd try. No one wouild bet. Sure enough it fired on the 2nd try. They were using it as a generator after that. 5 years after he left the plant he heard they were still using the engine.
