Hmmm, reminds me of why I used to carry a small open end wrench sized to
fit the square end of my Austin A-40 starter... the ring gear is worn,
and the starter jams on the worn teeth. I used to put the transmission
in HIGH gear, and rock the car back and forth until I heard a "pop"
sound. If I didn't get it in a couple of rocks, it was time for the
wrench.

you pulled the passenger side plugs and spun the
engine over to blow all the coolant out of the
cylinders... hydraulic lock-dead head gasket)
