... today on "A Very Special No-Start condition":
rotated engine using 24mm deep well socket, 1/2" drive ratcheting wrench.
rotated wrench towards passenger (right) side of car (my instinct says this can be done either way - asked about it here but can't be bothered to look it up)
looked at ring gear. no obvious damage. teeth seem ok.
rotation of engine generally conforms to expectation - an easy part (down stroke), followed by a harder part (compression), and repeat. no obvious weird sounds. not sure if went all the way around - lost track. did it for a few minutes.
relevant relays (for the record):
G2 = "ignition relay 15"
G14 = "ignition relay X"
... I think the "click/thunk" sound is some combination of relays clicking plus the starter motor popping out to engage the ring gear, but somehow, starter does not turn the ring gear. having found no obvious reason on the ring gear or the starter motor for this to happen....
for the record : a look through the timing belt inspection hole shows an apparently in-tact, dry, timing belt.
