With the plugs removed, I can turn mine with the fan. Or, bump it with the
remote button on the solenoid.

Subject: [TR] TR3 how to set valve clearance with the front apron on.
Hi Guys,
Probably an easy question
I just replaced the headgasket in my TR3 and figured that since I removed
the rockers, I should re-set the clearance. Last time I did that, the front
apron was off and I just turned the engine over using the handcrank. Now I
can't do that (hole in radiator/grill don't line up, probably because I have
a TR3a radiator on a TR3) How do you turn the engine the right amount to
get each cylinder TDC?
Thanks,
Jeremiah
