Hi, thanks for the Replies. The heated fluid is a good idea and one I hadn't seen yet. Formula 1 and Indycar engineers used to do this when priming their engines (may still do it).

I may just bite the bullet and pull the radiator, shroud, and fan and get better access to the crank bolt. I feel a whole lot more comfortable turning this by hand rather than troubleshooting the electrical system if the starter doesn't spin (no battery at the moment).

Thanks again,

Doug

P.S. -- it may not be frozen. there was still a good amount of oil in the top of the valve covers and I may get lucky. I'd love to be wrong on calling it 'frozen'.
