Thanks for the pix Tom, I have successfully created this tool!
I have an old engine stored in a shed that I have been saving to use as a spare. Shamefully, I have not turned it in a couple of years. I took the tool out into the engine and mounted it up. I used an 1 1/8th" Nut for the engine side to rotate on. That engine did not have a chance with the tool and a 18" breaker bar!
I added some more oil to the cylinders, and gave her a few rotations to lube it all up.
Sure made for easy work, and I want to thank you for the invention!
I have full confidence, we'll get the Brother in Law's engine turning and fired up for Christmas!
