The engine does turn. We put the cover back on (because I had my wife to help at the time) to make things neat and basically get back to where I hsould have been had I not broken the little inspection cover. It was after we had the cover on that I used the socket wrench to turn the crankshaft bolt to the timing mark. Aside from pumping resistance (spark plug not removed) it turned fine. So I passed the test for having the starter gear on the right way?

I tried a couple metric deep sockets to get the plug off, and couldn't find one that fit. My small size spark plug socket didn't work either, and I don't have a big size any more, so I couldn't try it.

Thanks,
Derek

Now though after reading the valve adjusting writeup, I don't know which part of the stroke I was on! So will check that next weekend. Pretty soon I'll have this down pat! Thanks, Derek

I did that my first time...

Yep, 18 mm deep well. The local Auto-Zone has them at an ok price.
