I believe one or two of the venders sell a timing pin that is spring loaded so you do not have to hold the pin while turning the motor - maybe that would help.
Do not remember why, at one time was told not to use the fan belt to turn the motor, maybe hard on the water pump and generator bearings?
Also maybe something about the belt being tensioned to tight if able to turn the motor with the fan belt?
Interested in what other say about this.
