As discussed above, I'm not so sure anyone except a big guy like @
Ultramaroon could turn a crank using a box end wrench. Maybe yes, with a socket and breaker bar ....... if you could get one in there.
I just remember how difficult it was to crank the old engines, even with their low compression and using the leverage of a hand crank.
