Good Point!!!
I used a cloth cover over the entire top of the engine. It has to breath!

That's how my motor ate a bolt. If you do this you should tape over the
sparkplug holes or find some other way to keep things from falling in the
cylinder.

"One trick is to remove the spark plugs to reduce the loads on the bearings,
and turn the engine by hand to see if it is free. If it isn't, work it
around,
possibly putting a teaspoon of oil in each cylinder.
Then crank it with the starter, but still without plugs."
