I know the motor turns counter clock wise, but is that looking at it from the front of the motor, or the back? I'm turning the motor over with a ratchet to make sure I got all the fluids out of the cylinders after replacing my injectors.

Thanks

looking at the front, engine turns clockwise

 

Thanks. I've been turning the motor counter clock looking at the front by using a ratchet on the alternator. So obviously I was turning it the wrong way. I wonder if that's why I didn't see any oil squirting out of the gp holes? I used a syringe to suck whatever fluids were in the driverside cylinders. But I only got about a shot glass worth of fluid out.

 

Pull off the single small wire on the fender starter relay. Using a jumper, jump that connector to the + side of the battery. Engine will crank and blow any oil out the glow plug holes.

 

Here is a larger photo of it ....

 

Never thought to do it that way Jim, good point. I usually just pull the IDM fuse and crank her over

 

thanks that's a great idea.

 

.......shouldnt it sqit out reguardless of the rotation?

 

it should, only way it will come out is if its filled to the cups and it will come out a little but a hand crank is no were near fast enough to blow that out, just put on a valve cover and crank it over, takes 20 seconds

 

That's the plan, bump it a few times. I am pretty sure I sucked most all of it out, but I want the extra security. Now if I could get 2 days in a row without rain, I might even get this done this month.
