turning motor over by hand So here is what I'm wondering. I have my new heads on my motor without a single pushrod installed. I am able to turn the motor over pretty easily with the ratchet. Intuitively it seems like it should be quite difficult. What is the deal? Did I disolve my piston rings with all the brakecleaner I sprayed in there? 
I turned my 93 over by hand with a rachet and no breaker bar. I'm not a beast either at 155lbs. Once I got it going I could spin it easily. I wouldn't be worried about anything.
