MALFUNCTION TEST OR INSPECTION CORRECTIVE ACTION 1.   ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK Step 1.   Remove rocker covers, and rotate engine by attaching a socket and breaker bar to accessory drive nut.  Check for bent pushrod(s), and valve(s) not opening or closing. If   valve(s)   fail   to   open   or   close,   manually   open   valve   with   3/4-in.   wrench.      If   valve(s)   are   seized,   remove corresponding cylinder head (para. 3-24). Step 2.   Test for mechanical or hydraulic seizure.  Remove the fuel injectors (para. 3-23).  Turn the engine over several times to displace the liquid from cylinders through the injector openings. If engine can be turned freely after all liquids have been displaced, install the injectors.  If the engine cannot be turned over freely by hand, disassemble the engine and replace the defective parts. 2.   ENGINE CRANKS BUT FAILS TO START Step 1.   Test for broken fuel supply pump driveshaft. Replace the injectors (paras. 3-23 and 3-82). 2-3
