Doesn't make any difference.Filled the cylinders with oil,let it soak .Used another plug with an air chuck to find out which ones had the valves closed .

Now on a large cylinder on a 300 it took forever and a day to pump enough oil in to move the thing a 1/4 of an inch .56 MM chainsaw it moves fairly quick .
I found a cylinder that was coming up on compression about half way up .That way it would exert more rotational  power having the crank pin at 90 degrees rotation  .On the saw I unbolted the cylinder and just raised the cylinder rather than  try to rotate the crankshaft .I didn't know if it had bearing damage which it in fact did have .If the crank was hung tight I could have broken something .
