Hi think he leaves that video in the channel just for playing, because, as far as I can figured, all method is all wrong - and the engine will start in backwards.
Makes perfect sense to me, and it works for any 4 stroke engine, as inlet and exhaust cam lobes will always rock over on TDC.
He made a post saying what I related and I also recall him saying something about getting a bad reputation with his customers for being here. Maybe the story has changed?
Who knows for sure?
Everything 38AC put on this forum was quality material, can you make that claim?
Sure some of his posts was pretty simple and common sense stuff to anyone who has been around old engines for any time, but for someone who just got into this hobby, it was a valuable information source.
He backed up his posts with concise and good quality photos, and although he had a comprehensive workshop, he tailored his posts to the level of someone who had minimal experience and tools.
Whilst clearly no one is irreplaceable, whoever/whatever prompted 38AC to do what he did. The result was a big loss for this forum as a whole.
