Turning the engine over does not really do much more than rocking the prop. All you need to do is make the piston go from bottom dead center to top a few times....Is what Todd or whoever said. Here I disagree. Flipping the engine over brings more air/fuel into engine wetting down bearings ect that give lube to where it is needed on start-up. Been there done every possible type of startup. Also I have people that want to buy my used engines instead of buying a brand new one. Smooth Landings, Capt,n
