Hey JFP, when the engine is without the IMSB, is it ok to rotate the engine or can that cause damage to the chains, pulleys or anything else? Mostly just curious although I'm still wondering if I should rotate the engine while the heads are off to inspect each cylinder. The 2 showing at TDC look good with no markings so not sure if it's better to inspect all or just go with what I can see now. (Yes, I know bore scoring starts at the lower end.). And finally, the pistons have a fair amount of flaky carbon that I'd like to remove so rotating engine is better for that process. Thoughts?

Thank you.
