Default Re: The Ace Mechanic Again

Someone asked about cranking with the crank handle. Frankly I didn't give that a try. It is only a Police head, but I'm losing strength and haven't been able to hand crank this engine nor the one in my coupe, to start them. I should have tried it as it was warm and has several thousands of mile since I last tried it. The coupe has 94 psi in all four holes and is tough to pull around even for timing, but this one had only 65 psi when I got it from the builder, then I added the 5.5 head and never have checked it. Surely no near to the 94 in the coupe. I have no clue what that head was as it was on when I received the car and has never been off.
