[QUOTE="stumpy lord, post: 28492, member: 207"] Hi, first get your self a good 3/4 witworth 7/8 b.s.f socket, then grind or turn of the lead in on the socket( the engine shock absorber nut is very thin and unless you get rid of the lead in on the socket you will not get full loading on the nut. To lock up the engine, remove the spark plug, and turn the engine untill it coming up to compresion ( both valves closed). then introduce a long piece of clean rope into the cylinder. I usualy use a piece of number 2 nylon. Next slowly rotate the crank untill the rope is compressed by the piston against the cylinder head, thus locking up the engine. When you want to tighten up the crank nut, you do the same thing but in the opposite direction . Rember to do it on the compresion stroke and no damage will be done. which is more than can be said for the spraging technique advocated by some members. cheers stumpy lord. [/QUOTE]
