LMAO, That is hillarious especially since I was doing the belt/roller/seal thing a couple of weeks ago and almost roled the car off of the jack stands because I was trying to turn to engine to TDC before removing everything and it was in first gear. LOL!

so ians car runs now, but the battery is TOTALY dead. we jumped the car then drove it around the block on just the alternator. the brakes and radio dont work at all because of the battery. its pretty silly.

If you're using the parking brake to hold the engine, then the car should be in fifth. This give the brakes the largest mechanical advantage over the engine.
