I have the engine and drive train on the bench and want to confirm it is not seized up. If I remove the spark plugs, how can I turn it over without using the starter? |

When's the last time the engine ran? Has it been sitting long? If it is froze up and hasn't been sitting long I would try pouring Marvels Mystery Oil down the plug holes and let it soak for a few days then see if you can free it up. If not pull the heads and see what you got going on in there.
