I still don't think you have your head around how to clean intake valves with water.
Rather than 1st gear & roll the car, why didn't you just leave in N & rotate the crankshaft with a socket & bar?
It's probably a good idea to do an oil change soon as well.
good luck with finding a new job. I'm sure you won't be unemployed for very long - look beyond bicycles at other mech/eng positions. It might be worth your while to give a "work wanted" at Rotorburn too? Maybe even offer to do one-off work as an independant? I'd bring my bike to you if you were local. (my Fox shock is weeping at the moment & the bike feels like a fatty-boombar.
Thanks. I didn't turn the cam shaft because that would require me to jack the car up and take the fender off and remove the accessory belt and pulley... about 30-40 mins work return! Auto's would have to do that, manuals don't. Took a minute to roll it forward and close the last valve :p

Yeah will do an oil filter soon as well a few thousand k's after the track day and a few cruises. Wheres the best place to get an oil filter and install guide?

I got some bike building work for now, but yes looking to expand my horizons. Doing a lot of carpentry now for my sisters wedding and looking to start offering labor in that money pot area.
