Excellent, excellent point!!!

If it's the exhaust, that's a long way to climb. If it's the intake, it means the air filter and throttle were open, and the cover was off.

It would be interesting to see if the plugs, and which of them were out of the head.

I specifically *DO* remember seeing that the engine cover was off the last time I saw it. I don't remember if the air filter was on or not.

But I get your point - if crankshaft is immobilized, it will be black-and-white what the valve positions were - because there is no way they could have changed from then to now!

Thanks again!
