1. test spinning engine by hand. Remove plastic cap on flywheel cover and spin engine with wrench. Might need to rock back & forth couple times. Then spin engine anti-clockwise towards front. Remove plugs and squirt in PB-Blaster and let sit overnight

Thank you for the reply!
I have an idea of what that might be. I removed a small cap, a little larger than a 3 liter bottle cap and saw a bolt in there when I was messing around. Is that it? Or do I have to remove the entire cover, which is much larger?

Can you send a pic?
