Hey all-
I am just finishing up a redo of a 2.2 that sat for 14 years or so. Replaced just about everything you can, and was just about to put the engine tin back around it. I thought I would do a quick "wrench" turn over on it, and the thing won't budge!!
Now, I have only every worked on old VW 1500 and 1600's back when I was a teen. Shouldn't I be able to turn this over with a wrench on the end of the pulley?? I took out all 6 spark plugs, but nothing...
When I got the enging in June, I did a quick oil change, squirted fuel cleaner and carb cleaner in the zeniths, and it turned over (battery powered). I just cranked it for a few seconds to be sure the engine wasn't siezed...
SO, I know it DID turn over. Not that I've invested a few hundred bucks in to it, I am nervous!!
Finally, the question. Isn't it possible to turn a 2.2 Porsche engine over with a wrench???? What am I missing?
Thanks so much,
Bill
