Ok, lot of action on this discussion so far so hopefully this doesn’t see too much attention. An old German mechanic taught me how to hand start a VW, without pushing or rolling it.

You haven’t suggested any kind of alternative measurement though. Look at you, the only thing you can do is insult people and really have nothing constructive to add. What kind of person are you?

IDK, your laughable defensiveness seems to suggest you’re not as sure of that opinion as you present.
