No you cant really, to get a good reading it has to be turned over pretty quickly like almost 100 rpm.

I turned my engine over by hand yesterday and gave myself a glaucoma test by spraying air into my eye.

I found it somewhat interesting the noises the engine was making when turning it over....so I kept doing it. I took out all 4 spark plugs, and was looking in the hole....when WHOOOOOSHHHHHH...

you're lucky you didn't get fuel in your eye!!! THAT HURTS!!

Anti-freeze is somewhat worse, for some reason.

If you really want to know how I know that, let me know.

What are you guys talking about, it feels great when you get a metal splinter in your eye when porting aluminium, for example, rotor housings.

As for the thread, the only thing you can do by hand is make sure none of the seals are brocken, basically just making sure you have an even number of puffs on each side.
