What it does is warms up the various components a little bit. They all expand at different rates, and make the bits move slightly, relative to each other. Give it another clean on top of each piston, and give it another oil. try moving it again

Good idea!
And the diesel has a slight penetrating oil quality. But using it exposed to the atmosphere won't make your neighbours any more friendly, cuz' it has a delicate all-pervasive aroma that some people just don't appreciate.
