Prop at 12:00 would be oriented straight up and down for initial positioning when starting the engine. 2:00, the most commonly used position, would be oriented at a slight angle. Prop tips at 2:00 and 7:00 positions.

Yes, A good idea - first I need to cut shaft off with my dremel cut off wheel. Then remove the bolt on the end of the crank. The remove another i/8th of an inch off that bolt and replace it .

It does not look that easy. One also needs to hold the piston in a fix position while this is done . Doable . But at this point I am not sure I can do all of that successfully.

Do you have any ideas?
