Default Volvo 2000 Diesel Stuck.

try removing the injectors and pouring in Marvel Mystery Oil and waiting a
week first, then again with the try-to-rotate-the-crank.

If it moves, move it veerry slowly over several days, through a couple of
revs, to make sure you don't score anything, then spin the starter for a
while.

That will force out the excess, if there is any which hasn't run into the
sump, and it is good to go...

Skip, painting, sanding, plumbing, wiring and the like while we wait for
grandkids to cross with us to Marsh Harbor from Saint Simons Island GA

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
