trying to figure out how to turn the engine to set the valve clearances. I have
removed the spark plugs to reduce compression, but trying to yank on the fan
blades will just break the fan.Sorry for being an idiot on this, but this is the
first time I have really tried to work on an engine and am a little clueless.
The Haynes manual gives the order and says to turn the engine, but doesn't say
how. Any ideas on how to accomplish this seemingly routine task?

Rich - I always stuck the car in FOURTH gear and gently rocked the car back and
forth to get the valves in the right sequence. Having a helper is nice, but not
necessary.
