I'm ready to crank the engine over for the first time in 30 yrs. (Lots of stories like this.) We've invited the neighborhood. I've changed the fuel lines, filter, cleaned pump, oil drain, tank, new sending unit, screen, topped off cylinders with MMO, cleaned plugs, etc. I'd like to turn the engine by hand, but don't know where to begin.
Any help, as I am alone and have no reference, alliance, resources or sanity. Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |

I recently started a K5 blazer that was given to me and had sat for years. I put oil in the cylinders, let it soak, then cranked with the plugs still out but grounded so the spark would have a path other than through the distributor cap insulation. This sprays oil on the headers a bit but better than bending a rod if you used too much.
