Jerry-

If I'm not mistaken, most of the military Land Rovers I'm picturing in
my mind are the old style, thus 4 cyl.  I know that a good tight engine
will be difficult to turn in any case-I had to try to turn an old Jeep 4
cyl by hand a few times-but I don't think I want to try it on some big
IH V8!
