Well, if you're messing with I5s at this level you really should have a
torque wrench _and_ breaker bar in the 4/5 foot long area. With the
plugs out, you can turn the engine pretty smoothly. Tippex (Liquid
Paper - whatever) belongs on the '0' timing mark and nowhere else.
Anyone who installs a flywheel on an I5 without painting the '0' mark
with Tippex beforehand deserves to have their 2084 ceremonially welded
in place.
