>But IMO the handle is not worth the effort to set valves.  Put the
transmission in 4th gear, and rock the car (brake off) to roll the engine
over.  If it's a bit stiff, you can use your leg against the front bumper
to
get more force on it, but I can just lean a bit against the bottom of the
windshield frame and move mine.

A trick I learned is to push on the top of the tire.  This gives you a 2:1
mechanical advantage.
