Just seems like even a half revolution would be a tough go by hand with that little crank. But watching Brent, he made that 1/2 turn look easy as pie. Ahhhh! His engine must be worn out. Lols! ?

DJ194950 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Is it cheating that he bad the crankcase breather cap off? Did that make easier to crank over? ? DJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony WestOZ Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I use to hand crank the Dodge my father gave me when I was a seventeen year old student all the time. Had no money to replace the regulator so it was crank or no drive for a couple of weeks. I went through it again a couple of years latter when the reg went and I could not find a replacement. Then was the starter motor failure and I was 400 miles from home. Its not that hard. Use one hand and remember to keep you thumb out of the way. Tony One note of caution, I would not do it on an engine that was just had the timing reset. If its timed wrong and backfires it could hurt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
