Thanks for all your responses!!!! I¡¯ll start by charging battery for a couple hours then removing plugs to hand crank. Starter should be good¡­..after rebuild he started the engine(I believe w/quick 12 volt jump) via my starter¡­¡­.will update on any progress. Thanks again¡­..this message board has REALLY benefitted me thru these years of restoration¡­¡­. Even though our numbers of posts have slowed, it¡¯s great to know help is a touchscreen away¡­¡­thanks again,Mike

The valves are in the block. How are they going to hit the pistons?

Be careful you have the timing correct because you may have valves hitting pistons. With the plugs out you should be able to turn it over with a socket and ratchet.

SO many ways to start looking, how hard is it to crank over by hand with no plugs..the starter has very hard copper like brushes that get stuck..the battery can read 6+, but whats it at while starting and after..I still got a 6 volter but jumped up to 8 volts. I don't out run the head lights any more..

?46¡¯ CJ2A, 6 volt¡­¡­. Trying to start for first time(after engine rebuild) & am not making much progress. Starter,generator, 0/1 electrical cables, cleaned up battery terminals and grounds, battery registers 6+ volts. Tried to fire it up today and just didn¡¯t seem to have the oommmpppphhhh to fully turn over. Like a low battery but battery less than 1yr old and registering a little over 6amps. I¡¯m trying to find a way to NOT fry my 6volt gauges and system yet give it a little more turnover juice¡­. HELP!!!!! Thanks,Mike
