>There's just one problem: it won't engage in anything. There's a hole in
the radiator, it goes in, but there doesn't seem to be a dog on the
crankshaft, at least not one that fits my crank handle. I've tried peering
at the front of the crankshaft with a mirror on a stick, but I can't see
anything.
See http://www.intuh.net/startinghandle.jpg for a picture of the end of
the handle. The thick end is 1" in diameter and the bit sticking out at
the end is about 7/16". I know there were different starting handles for
TR2/3 (P/N 107863), TR3A (118366) and TR4 (131818), but I don't know how
to tell them apart. Is what I have a TR3A handle? Or could it be that the
DPO had another dog installed on the crankshaft? How can I find out?

I had the same problem. As it turned out the engine mounts just needed
alignment. I bought some big flat washers and cut slots (just so I
wouldn't have to lift the engine so far to to fit the washers) and shimmed
until I got alignment.
