Rotating Engine Using Wheels?
91 Civic, manual transmission, here. I am doing a timing
belt replacement. The front of the car is on jackstands, and I put the transmission in 5th gear. I freed the pulley bolt just fine, but then I wanted to rotate the engine so #1 piston was at TDC blah blah. I thought turning either of the front wheels by hand would, via the manual transmission, also rotate the engine. But no luck. I put the pulley bolt back in and rotated the engine to get #1 to TDC. As I turned the crankshaft pulley (via a socket on the pulley bolt), the front wheels turned roughly in synch with the pulley's rotation just fine. What might have prevented my turning the engine by manually turning the front wheels? |
