Thank you brother, shop said my engine was locked and never did this test in front of me and I don’t believe them. I will now be able to check before spending 4K on another engine

Ty , my garage also said the same, until I ran into this video 👊🏽 now it's good to go but ... I made a mistake by adding pb blaster into it , my friend who is a mechanic told me to take out the spark plugs dry them off and bar the engine until the pb blaster comes out 😤 hey you live and learn, my truck is good to go on the road again but for a week I went crazy

hi thanks for the video but i have a good one for you, what if you can turn the engine over counterclockwise ( i did not do a full rotation yet) but i CANNOT do it clockwise?

What happens if I don’t take the serpentine belt off and still try to turn it over?…. Never mind you explained that

@zzzaj2016 2 күн бұрын

I think he said in the video that it was to turn just the crank and not everything connected by the belt cause the accessories could be locked up and not let you turn the crank

What if your harmonic balancer is not held on by a center bolt?

On a 4 cycle aire cooled engine, should you hear any gurgling sounds? Like oil being sucked up through a straw?

I was going to conduct a cylinder leak down test on my car and wanted to manually turn the crank for tdc. Is tehre any risk of throwing the timing off or anyting when I do this?

@jotherphen16 3 ай бұрын

Nope. Just don't turn it counterclockwise. Depends on some engine could skip timing teeth

Hello Ryan....Is it okay to turn the engine by hand if you suspect the timing belt might be broken? I have a 1985 4 cylinder Toyota Camry...does this car have an engine that will not damage the valves or cylinder if you turn the engine after a probable broken timing belt. Appreciate your input.

@dy1angi11ey6 27 күн бұрын

After a quick search it seems you have a non interference engine so you should be fine to independently turn the crank, but I would do some research yourself just to be safe.

Will rotating it in reverse be bad for the engine?

@jotherphen16 3 ай бұрын

In some engines. Yes. But always turn it clockwise

Okay so here’s what happened on mine I turned over the motor to add some camshafts locks. They seated properly but I wasn’t on TDC so I pulled the timing chain off and turned the motor to set it at tdc. Now it moved but after half a turn it gets hard and won’t turn anymore

I’m in deep water I was trying to remove my steering pump pulley and the pulley nut got stuck in the steering pump and the belt was still on and then I accidentally cranked my motor backwards like 2 or 3 inches what do I do? I really need help and when I start my car it makes a loud deep noise like it has an exhaust leak and sounds terrible 😔

If you suspect that you have water sucked in through the intake which ended up in the cylinders. This will help expunge any water. As he said in the video, water will not compress so it can bend a piston rod or blow rings out

I watched your video again and this time I got the idea to put the car on neutral and no brakes or hand brake on , although its automatic but lets see.
