You should be able to repeat the same effect by removing the oil filler cap.

In what way was the "turn over" different?

(Faster cranking speed I assume)
Ha ! You knew I had just enough daylight to throw in the battery and check that. Took off the oil filler cap, turned over as normal. Must have been the spray that was making it sound weird the other day.

And regarding your tappet question, according to my oil covered checklist the first valve should be a .30, exhaust.
