David,
Why 1st gear and not 4th gear? 1st gear makes it easier to crank the=20
engine. 4th gear makes more sense.

Had a bit of a mishap with my BJ8 engine that is installed in the car.
Drive shaft and gearbox in place and tunnel off.
Need to re-tighten the crank nut.
So how is the easiest way to lock the crank ?
Is it safe (no damage) to lock the prop shaft flange and in 4th gear ?
Thank you
