Guest aeroshadow Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'm going to look at a potential purchase, a 1980 TR7 soft top. Can anyone tell me the size of the socket that fits the crankshaft nut? ( the car's been sitting for a long time and I want to turn the engine over, if possible) Thanks!

jeff poole Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Alex It's a 1.5" AF bolt head. Good luck Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonlar Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hi Alex, take the plugs out and squirt some oil into each cylinder - leave overnight to soak and drain, then put battery on and crank over in 10 - 15 second bursts until you're happy that oil is circulating, then put clean plugs back in, check and clean points, and give it a whirl, if it starts - don't rev it about 1200 - 1500 for a few minutes.
