Re: please help
seems a bit of conflicting advice here,firstly the engine should turn over easily by hand with plugs out, if it doesnt, yank it out and have a shufty.Secondly you dont need to put the rockers back on to check compression (all valves will be closed) good luck, tezza.

please dont trust that plug, go to next size up and google drill size for M18 probably 16.8 but check,that loose thread could let you down, good luck tezza.just checked its 15.5
