[TR] Tr 6 Engine

[Philip Ethier]

Can you pull the spark plugs and run it on the starter motor?  Shoot oil
into the cylinders first.  Hook up an oil-pressure gauge and crank the
engine until you see oil pressure.

There is also some trick you can do first with the distributor-drive, I
think, but I have never tried that and I can ot advise you on it.
