<<What would happen if I used a handcrank to crank my easy-starting motor AND
I did so WITHOUT the flywheel mounted?

Hadn't you done this Ed??>>

er, yes and no Paul.

I DO do it just to "turn the motor over [setting vsalves]".  START??  Nope.

Besides, WHY would you even want to??

Don't you have enough to do??

You NEED to get flywheel in.
You NEED to get clutch in.
You NEED to get transmission in.
You NEED to get drive shaft in.
You NEED to "finish" body "mountings.
You NEED to do another 1,000 things!!!

And ALL before you "need" to re-start the motor!!!

Got enough to "do"<G><G><G>????

Ed

PS:  You NEED to fill AND bleed brake system!!! (with Castrol GT/LMA Fluid!)
