Thanks Phil!

The engine has a long history that would probably be too boring to explain as it involves my son's 240 sedan being originally recreated 11 or so years ago and it's history involved removing its original running engine which I saved for this project.

We reconditioned the whole engine (except no piston work). So timing belt was changed after we replaced all the front and rear seals.

I had all the marks lined up on the timing belt before putting on covers and dropping engine into the bay.

How do you see that "number 1 hits the crankshaft mark" with the timing belt covers on? I will check the belt again to make sure nothing changed after putting the covers on and installing the fan and belts.

I'll also try the technique you've mentioned for getting starting fluid in there. The FPR is one thing I haven't confirmed yet.

I'll post back hopefully Friday if other things allow me the time to work on troubleshooting! Thanks again
