Hand Turning the crank

[97EclipseGS-T]

I have been looking all over the place and I can't seem to find detailed pictures on how to Hand turn the crank. I'm about to clean out the shavings from my intake mani that dropped a couple weeks ago and my intake valves are closed on the intake runner that I need to clean out. The idea that If I pull a plug out and attach a shop vac to my T/B inlet on the mani, I can get out what ever fell... the problem is... the shavings fell in the first runner and that little hole before the first runner (I have no clue of) and the intake valves are closed on that piston... Thanx guys

Rotate the crank in a clockwise direction, never the other way.

To manually crank over the rotating assembly, use a 1/2" breaker bar on the bolt that holds the crank sprocket on.
