I stripped it down and laid it on its side last night. Turns real easily... too easily! Now I have to use Ducky's idea. I'm not sure why the last engine I tore down was so tough to turn.

FYI, the harmonic balancer hole is kind of cone shaped, so I don't know what square hole Hoyt was referring to is.
