Hi All,
I am trying to get my boat running. The engine has been sitting for two
years when it was stored (oil in the cylinders and antifreeze in the block).
The engine does not spin with the starter, what is the process to get it
spinning? I pulled out the plugs and they were clean (no rust), the oil in
the engine is clean (no water) and it smells fine. My uncle says to just
put a breaker bar on the balancer and rock it back in forth until it spins.
Is this ok, it seams to me that would be very hard on the bearings? The
engine is an OMC stern drive 260 (1986 Chevy 350).

Thanks for the advice.
