No. Compression still occurs and the motor should be very , very hard, if at all possible to turn by hand without a great deal of leverage. Removing the spark plugs - and making sure it's in neutral (so your not trying to turn anything else or a locked transmission) would make it much easier.

What should I look for in a good Frieghtliner FL70?

When buying a frieghtliner FL70 you should look for engine problems. Each engine has different issues but actual hours on the engine would be the bigger issue, rather than milage.
