Make sure to squirt a bit of oil in the cylinders before you try again. The cylinders walls may have gotten washed down with fuel. I hear about this all the time on the board, but I have never experienced it in Volvo.

I have used the trick on worn diesel engines (small pumps and generators in the field in third world countries) with varying success.
