Default engine hydrolic locking

I just taxid my plane the other day, and ran it at a low RPM, and I forgot to do a run up at the end to clear out the engine, and now it's hydrolic locked, it wont turn easily, and i can't get it started. I already took out the glow plug, put some fresh fuel in, turned it upside down and turned the prop (that normally works) but it didn't this time. I then took it to the LHS, and we took the engine apart, and cleaned up all the castrol oil gum, but whe we put it back together (we did everything right) as soon as I'd put the glow plug back in it still is stiff, it's better, but still locked. HELP!
