when you put it in 5th gear you are trying to move the car - even the engine cant move the car from standstill in 5th gear - you have no chance with your spanner

as long as you followed the proper procedure and can turn the engine over a few times with nothing stopping it your going to have to be brave and start it

Sorry but I have dificulty understandig what you are saying. Please I want to know if the proccedure I follow with the spanner is ok? Because when I put the car in the 5th gear it blocked.thank you

when in gear you are turning the gearbox

dont put it in gear and turn the engine over by hand to make sure the pistons dont hit the valves ?

whats your main language?

If you are turning the engine over using a spanner, surely the car needs to be in neutral . (not in gear).( Presume you are trying to turn the shaft through a complete revolution to check clearance.)

I use a spanner on the crankshaft pulley and rotate the engine and it turns freely in neutral gear. But in the 5th gear the engine blocked.

engine is not blocked
you are trying to make the engine drive 5th gear

Sean, seems to stem from Peters advice over here: http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... hp?t=43876" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

ah! and lost in translation

still despite the language thing i do wonder why some people are allowed to buy spanners
