Re: 98 SW1 would not crank

Eh, he did end up taking it, but I could not (actually did not want) to start it there, because he would of asked for more money as soon he saw it starting . I say this only because I've seeing that done before. And after 10 month of sitting there, who knows how well the cylinders are hugging the pistons
I did fill about 1/2 gallon of just water for now & don't see any leaks, had it towed home & have another question
I've put some oil inside the cylinders just so it's not that dry on the start. Should/can i do something else to help it @ the startup? I've heard of Lubegard FREE-EZE - can that help to prevent the scouring of the cylinders. Will try to crank it by hand tomorrow if i can. I don't have a breaker bar but about 2ft torque wrench. I see there is a bolt head @ the end of the crankshaft but I don't see any way to get to it from the top. Assuming i need to take fr. passenger tire (same as to get to the starter) and use some king of extension? Any other (slicker) way of doing it?
Thanks!
