Allen,
Not sure why this would make you feel better, but I thought I'd share my current project with you: Timing a Waukesha F817G engine in a Fire Truck. This engine is blessed with TWO frappin' distributors that need to be timed. To read the timing mark on the flywheel, I have to stick my head into the pump compartment. And no, there's NO WAY to turn this engine over by hand! (817 is the size of the motor - HUGE!)
After taking out both distributors, cleaning and setting the gap on the bench, and setting the advance with a meter to TDC, per the manual, the thing still doesn't want to start! Sheesh . . . wish I had a "MAGIC TRIANGLE" on MY motor . . .
Glad you're back in business!
-Michael
