Hey everyone. First post. I live in Seattle Wasington (shillshole bay) and have a 1976 E29 with an atomic 4.
Unfortunately i had an incident where water got aboard the boat and managed to get in the crankcase. I changed the watery oil and added new oil and magical mystery oil per Don Moyer's recommendations on his site.
I have another immediate problem in that my starter/electric won't fire up, Just a lone click.
I have called out some marine electrical guys to take a look at that.
However, in the mean time i desperately want to turn that engine over by hand to get the oil mixed in good and also to change the oil again.
I do not have the flywheel turner that maybe came with some people's boat so I ordered the Ignition timing crank from Don Moyer.
While i await fior that to arrive there must be some technique for spinning that shaft around and advance the engine a revolution or two.
Any ideas? I think in the autoworld this is a cam shaft socket but I do not know if those will fit.
Thanks
