I have pulled VCs at least a dozen times... that is very minor work to make sure things are right in the world. I'm ****, but Stinky (the wonder truck) has suffered many an error and is still delivering the mail. If it were me, I'd pop the VCs, all 8 glow plugs, loosely fit the VCs back on, then crank with the battery to be sure. The back two are not the only ones that catch fuel/oil. It's not a waste of time if you gain confidence about turning the key.

x2....If you can turn it 2 full revolutions by hand, you are good..not enough pressure to hurt if you cant..

X3, if its hydro locked, you'll never spin it by hand. Give it a try by hand Atleast 2 full turns, and then get after at.
