PorscheFan5 · 02-20-2015, 11:21 AM

Understood: never rotate engine backwards but can go around again.

Question is can I rotate the engine clockwise now with the two tensioners removed? Any issues there?

Also no one answered the question on whether securing the crank to the engine case from the back of the engine will suffice or do I have to make sure I get the locking pin into the crank pulley/case.

And...is the Pelican bearing kit ok to use...

Thanks.
