Re: A Bit of Progress Update

Nico, here is something you might try to reverse the engine. With
spark plugs out,  find a piston that is coming up on the compression
stroke ( both valves closed-piston befor TDC. . Use an old sparkplug
and weld on a fitting to attach an airline. to it. When you put the
air to it, the piston should move down and turn the crank backwards. .
I never tried it, but think it will work....................MO
