Hello from the states.
Looking for advice on the easiest way to turn the engine over by hand and the required tools, need to see if it is locked up.Plus 2S has been sitting garaged in a dry climate for decades.
I don’t think the current owner has any automotive experience so he would have to be walked through the procedure.
Owner has access to the crank bolt from underneath the car, car is on a 4-post lift. Another non-running car is underneath but could be rolled out some to gain access.
My understanding is the crank bolt is 5/8"?
Will a 1/2" ratchet or torque wrench and 5/8" socket fit on the crank bolt?
How much room is there for the socket and ratchet? Standard depth socket or deep required?
Also not sure what tools are even available.
Unfortunately I’m 1700 miles away and can’t see the car myself.
I would pull the plugs first and pour a little oil or ATF in each cylinder but I do not think this would be possible.
If we can get to the point where the proper tools are on hand I wanted to also verify that the engine should be over in the clockwise direction.
Appreciate any experience and advice in advance.
Happy Holidays!
Cheers,
Glenn
