Re: 47 Ford - 3 on the Tree question (Clutch question)
No, you do not need to push in the clutch to start the engine, and in fact it's harder on the thrust bearing on the crankshaft to do it that way. Putting forward pressure on that thrust bearing before oil circulates is harder on it, and is unnecessary. You've done it right for 30 years.
