Yes . Turn turn if can’t go back and fourth after Atf in spark plug cylinders trick that worked for me was dump as much atf and watch witch cylder holds atf those the two stuck or seized keep doing it turn slowly the hard right till atf isn’t in. Cylinders if you can’t see no more atf that’s good get strong and turn right and pray
How do you know when you went all the way ?
Do my car need to me in nautral?
Thank you l!
Hi ,
can u see numbers on the crankshaft ? I need to set it to 52 for replacing high pressure fuel pump . Thanks !
Yes there are numbers on the pulley. You can see them with a flash light
Nice video. I wanted to free up the pistons on my SUV that's been sitting on the driveway for the past 5 years due to some problem with distributor. So, I am going to take off spark plugs and pour two teaspoons of engine oil into each hole of spark plugs and turn the crankshaft manually in clockwise after a week of letting the oil sink. So is this the way to do it or will it mess up the timing . And , is there certain limit on number of turns or can I turn it few more times until I feel the pistons being lubricated? I subscribed . Thank you.
You can turn it as much as you want. Just don't go counter clockwise.
@@YOUCANIC why not ?
@@raulafonso23 manual doesn't recommend it. But why do you want to?
Updates? Did it work? I have a Subaru also sitting 5 years nothing wrong with it just was out of the country. How should I go about starting it?
@@kenmastersmaster I'm here for the exact same reason! Car has been sitting 5 years
Does anyone know if it is okay to turn this engine anti-clockwise. I have dropped a foreign object into the piston and accidently squashed by rotating engine manually clockwise. Looking to rotate it anti clockwise to drop the piston down to try and remove the object
Good question I am also curious.
You may find the bolt on the end of the crankshaft tries to undo.
do you need to lift the wheel off the ground ？ and gear in neutral
Do u?
If its in neutral i would assume not, right?
What If it turns to one derection and the apposite it didn't rotate, is at normal? CAr is Aveo 2005 manual
Keep going back and fourth then go right or clock wise hard with it
Real pain when you buy a bmw guy drops it off says it has coolant problems won’t start
If you go to start your car and you here that famous it’s seized noise I’m laughing at you I’ll buy your car for 200$😏😭😆. Everything takes time
How can I tell if an engine is seized or nearly seized? New starter turns over very very slow like 1/10 or 1/20 what it would need to start. I'm using a battery pack and booster lead direct to starter but it turns very slowly. Not sure if maybe the new starter is bad.. But hard to see an old starter go bad and a new replacement starter to be DOA also. 2months of a headache.. Was hoping the battery cables were just bad, but the new starter spins fine out the car, but very slow when in the car. Just not enough speed to be anywhere near making it possible to start the engine.
It can happen that a new starter is doa. I would turn the crankshaft manually. Then find the same engine and do the same thing. Then you can determine if your engine is much harder to turn.
@@YOUCANIC got it started today... Looks like the AC compressor wasnt turning at all. Took the belt off all components, and it fired right up. 👍
@@craigmorton644How did you find out it wasn’t turning?
@@craigmorton644I have similar problem with 07 ford Taurus. Vehicle overheated, then i tried to start again and smoke came from engine bay. When I turn the key the engine turns over at about 100 rpm
.
Do you put the engine in neutral
No need to.
If the crankshaft doesn't turn a full 360 degrees then what is the issue?
Get some leverage or hit the gym 😭😭
is there something or a reason why I cant turn the crankshaft anymore then 20° ATDC
every time I crank it clockwise it doesnt stay. I posted a video but not of me cranking it. just the markings
I hear it's hard to crank with the spark plugs in.
@@hobbymechanic2792 Man dude Ihad my car in 1st gear I had the head off an everytbing lol. I was dumb its ok. I finis my headgasket though lmao. Gotta love it. Did a MercedesHeadgasket in 1month all by myself lol.
Plugs wouldnt make a difference no matter what way you flip it.
Hello i have a cls550 2014 I am extremely frustrated, I am currently on my 5th kickstarter, when it’s changed, everything is fine for a few weeks, then suddenly, it stops working, after a few tries to start the engine, it literally that smoking. We have changed the crank sensor, kickstarter and even tried using the car without the push to start. All to no avail, it just keeps burning out. Please help

Do you have to put it on neutral?
Yes
I've heard this also .. but is it okay to turn it without the timing belt ?!
Omg. DON'T remove the timing belt. That would be a recipe for disaster!
You can remove the accessory belt.
The accessory belt is usually exposed.
The timing belt requires you to remove a cover to access it. Leave the timing belt alone unless it's broken.
So that’s normal for it to be that hard
Yes it's hard then easy. It keeps alternating like that.
Watch me pull an engine around like a starter motor, it's an Olympic sport and I'm half this gis size and I can lift most gearboxes with a finger in a bolt flange .
Nice video but dont run out of steam next time . Hi from Brighton Great Britain
@@davidrobertson5700ok bud
Yes, if the spark plugs are still in. If replacing the hydraulic lifters, for example, then it's a whole lot easier to remove the plugs so you aren't fighting against compression when turning the engine..
