To  adjust the valves on my '74 TR6, I need a way to turn the engine  over.
Short of removing the radiator, I don't see a way to get to the front  of the
fan to do this.  Any ideas for another method of getting the  motor to go
around slow enough?



Jim,
My experience is not TR6 specific, but I have found that with the  plugs out 
and the car out of gear, pulling on the fan belt, or using a socket  and large 
ratchet on the alternator  nut while pressing in on the belt  works well for 
me.I've used this method on my TR3, my Stag, and my XJ6.
