"It just might roll down the driveway"
Geeze....BFD....like this is rocket science or
something...yeh, right.
It didn't roll yesterday when I set
the "rollers" on my 1.5 set-up and
hasn't in 42 years so I sorta doubt it, most
especially since parking brakes and wheel chocks were "invented".
Unless you got a clutch
fan, do it my way and you won't need a chock anyway. Just leave it in neutr
al and
set the parking brake....OK!! If it makes you
feel better, put a chock(s) under a wheel....or dead cat(s)!
Now, take the damn plugs out so
the engine will turn over easily by hand and turn it over by the fan while
depressing the fan belt (do the belt will
"grab" around the fan's hub)
while you're looking directly down
on the valve train for accuracy with respect to the fully open position of
whatever valve.
If you've got a clutch fan, then you'll have
to bump it in gear. Assuming decent compression it ain't going anywhere on
a FLAT piece of land....(I ass-u-me you can
find a reasonably flat stretch nearby.....hopefully!!!!:)
