Manually turning engine over by hand?
Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of getting my Evo IX back onto the road after storage and have been working my way through a maintenance list for the past few months.
I just fogged the cylinders with Fogging Oil to aid in lubrication upon first start-up. I then proceeded to turn the engine over by hand in a clockwise rotation via the crankshaft using a ratchet in the end of the crankshaft sprocket. I wanted to distribute the fogging oil as well as making sure that the piston rings were not stuck at all. Everything checked out good.
My question is, did I change any timing settings by turning the crankshaft clockwise by hand? Please keep in mind that the timing belt was on at all times.
I just don't want any issues upon first start-up.
Thanks for the clarification.

Thank you for the clarification.
Yep, the timing belt is tight, no slack. The timing belt has never been off of the engine so timing has not been messed with.
Timing belt replacement is last on the list, lol.
