So, I'm trying to make two cars into one. First of all, I have heard a lot of people talking about being able to "turn the engine by hand." What exactly do you mean "by hand"? Obviously, the spark plugs are out, but do you literally mean rotating the flywheel/fan with your bare hand? If so, how easy is it supposed to be? Is there a lot of resistance? On a second, but completely unrelated note, apparently, I'm going to need to repair the dreaded "hell hole." Do I just need to replace the whole piece, or what? Here's a pic (hopefully)

Hi,
engine is out...I can see that Take off the starter and the tranny... 17mm wrench on one of the flywheel bolts... Turn motor... DO NOT try to turn the motor from one of the bolts that hold the fan on, or the center bolt in the front...they are to small, could break, or could be over torqued in the process... HELL Hole Do a search here and type hell and hole...use the and between the words to include both words... You will find lots of pictures and lots of degrees of rust... Basically, get that battery out of there...its the battery acid that starts the problem... Take off th pad that is on you firewall, and take out the interior..now you should see both sides of the firewall metal.. Now you can see the extent of the damage from above.. The rest is usually below the battery area, and the rear of the floorboards... It all depends on how far along it is... Good luck, post pics,,,get support...get a welder...learn to weld...fix car...
