I've read several places not to rotate the crank when cylinders are taken off the engine. However, cylinder removal instructions say:
Rotate the crankshaft to place the piston of the No. 1 cylinder at top center of the compression stroke.
.
.
.
.
Removal of the remaining cylinders and pistons may be done in any sequence, but less turning of the crankshaft is involved if the cylinders are removed in firing order 1-3-2-4.
This is the procedure I followed - should I be worried about turning the crank during this process?
