Easiest way to hand turn Dexta engine

Post by FerdiNL »

Hi all,

Since I believe it is a long time ago since somebody done it, I want to check the valve clearance.
Only thing is, what is the easiest way to turn the engine over by hand?
I couldn't find the bolt on the pulley with my hand so far and the small hole in the nose cone isn't accesable as well.

I've already found the small inspection hole so I can check the marking on the flywheel to see if the engine is at the right point.

You'll need to find the bolt and use a spanner in there.
