Re: Engine Rebuild

If the engine was properly assembled when it was rebuilt, you can turn the crank all day and nothing inside will change.
Normally when you are installing an auto trans, or in your case the other side (the engine), you bolt the torque converter to the fly wheel (flex plate) and you have to rotate the crank to get to all the bolts. There's even a special tool to make rotating it easier.
I don't understand why you had to "loosen the engine back up" to do it, you should have complete access with the converter dust cover removed.
