Pulled #3 jug due to bad intake valve (another story) with A&P assistance.
Now pulling pin for the piston. Cant get pin out due to obstructions.
Realized the crankshaft is not quite at TDC.
Need to turn it about 30-40 degrees more to get TDC.
Should be able to get piston pin out then.
Is it OK to turn the crank this much with jug off and nuts off thru bolts?
What are chances of "turning the crank bearings"?
Should I put thru bold nuts back on and tighten half way to prevent?
Other suggestions ???
Thanks.
