Actually, I think that the flywheel would stop in any of either two or four
positions, so in order to reorient it, you would want to rotate it either 45
degrees (if you want to try to reuse it once) or 30 degrees (if you are
really daring and want to try to reuse it twice). Seems like you wouldn't
want to bother for a 6 cylinder engine.
