"I just bought a volvo tmd30a

"I just bought a volvo tmd30a engine , it has sat for 3 years unused , can any one tell me what I should do before I even try to start it , ie. put oil in the cylinders flush and change all fluids , prep turbo etc. thanks ..."
 
"Change the oil. Antifreez if

"Change the oil. Antifreez if closed system. I would buy a prelube system, first thing. Boat engines that sit, even for a few days between operatiob are good canidates for these anyway. Don't put a synthetic oil in, (rhey have poor surface adhesion).
Treat the fuel with Sea Foam and spray all other linkage, etc. with Deep Creep. While cranking in momentary bursts, spray Deep Creep into air intake . Then try starting engine.Stay away from starting fluid. WD40 serves the same purpose but is safer."
