OK guys, so I have turned the 216 all the way around with flywheel prying. It turns looser now, valves still a little sticky but they all seem to move with no bent pushrods. Collective wisdom please:
1. Is it ok to try to bump it with the starter with the plugs out?
2. Will turning it oil everything ok? If not, how do I need to prime it to be safe?
3. And when should I change out the mix of old oil and PBblaster: now, after a few spins, or after I try to start it?
