How to turn engine manually on c6 z06
i was wanting to know how to turn engine manually on 07 c6 z06 by doing the tire trick not the crank turning but the tire trick... are you suppose to jack up the back where both tires are in the air then try to turn or are you/can you jack one wheel up and are suppose to be able to turn it with only one rear wheel?

Jack up the whole rear end, put the car in first (easiest) gear and turn both tires together. Done easiest by laying under car turning each tire with a foot. If you only turn one by hand, the other will most likely rotate in the opposite direction.
This assumes you have a manual car, not sure how you would do this with an auto...

today i had both rear tires up i spun one tire and ran to the other side and the other one turned with the first one...
before that when i had only one wheel jacked up it would not move you could move it a hair but felt locked up ( unless this was the wrong way of doing it with only 1 wheel jacked up)

Only if there was a ton of water in there. The spark plug holes are in the head, and you wouldnt be able to get ll the water out this way. Your best bet would be to buy or RENs a horoscope to inspect the cylinders. Based on what you find, you may want to pull the heads for a closer look.
