Folks,

Ready to index the bell housing but not really sure how to turn over the engine with all my parts installed. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Just a thought. Loosen all the belt tension & pull the spark plugs. Long breaker bar on the center damper bolt.

Yup ^

Hard to tell, because I can't open the thumbnail (David's working on that), but it looks like his engine is still on an engine stand. Are you asking how to rotate the engine around on the engine stand so you can install your bellhousing and center it, or are you asking how to spin the crankshaft so you can index the bellhousing?

Rotate the crankshaft so I can index the bell housing.

I second this.

I removed the spark plugs to remove engine compression which made turning the engine over by hand a lot easier
