Huh ??

Crank is a common term for the engagement of the starter motor, which is also called turn over. so, what do you mean ??

Crank is a carry down term that comes from the old cars that actually had a hand crank at the front of the engine. Electric starter motors eliminated hand cranking, but the term Crank still refers to the spinning of the engine in order to get it to Start/Run..
