Use very little oil if you prelube, as there is very little room in the top of the cylinder for any extra anything, so it can hydraulicly lock if there is too much. Don't bother turning it over by hand. with 4 or 5 hundred pounds of compression ther is no hope, I caught myself on this one and had a good laugh, the starter is the only way to move these high compression engines. If it is stuck, she just won't turn, and if you get off the starter quick you won't hurt it.
