[Vwdiesel] swapping engines

[mikitka]

If you want  you can pull the injectors or glow plugs, put a little oil in
each cylinder and turn it over by hand.  I would put a new timing belt on it
if it were me. Seems when things sit it tends to make rubber and such
brittle but then that is my opinion.

Hi,

  I am swapping engines in a 82 VW diesel Rabbit.  The
engine I am putting in was running good 4 years ago
when I took it out of another diesel Rabbit.  Should 
a pull an injector so there is less compression and
rotate the engine a few times prior to putting it and
getting it going.  Can I just take a wrench to the
crankshaft and rotate a few times to free up
everything. 

Thanks

Dave
