Default Re: Engine power

Removed spark plugs. Using a torque wrench I found that the maximum torque to get the engine to turn over was 35 ft-lb. But the maximum to keep the engine turning was 25 ft-lb. Using the hand crank a sharp 1/4 turn pull will rotate the engine just over one full revolution. Is that too tight? Is there a better way to check for a tight engine?
