Any coolant loss? If so it could be hydro locked with coolant in the combustion chambers.

You might want to pull the glow plugs and see if you can get it to rotate by hand or get it to crank (but stay away from the "line if fire" - fluid can shoot out from the glow plug hole w/ a lot of force).

Had a Cat mechanic killed on a job out here doing that. Fuel went thru his eye into his brain. Lots of pressure.
