Hi Lanse: First thought was "Ya" that might work but after thinking it through step by step... Nope, no way. An engine kickback is often "back rotation" so think it through. Your pulling up on the crank and before T.D.C. it kicks and there is NO Ratchet action. Only ratchet action is if it kicks "forward" such as what it normally should do in starting... Another words, lets say you pulling up on the crank and are about half way up when there is pre-ignition and the crankshaft goes oposite direction you were pulling... it's got power to spare in pulling your hand backwards. The only time the ratchet will be used is if the crankshaft spins "Forwards" lots faster then you care to ever see. OK?? Nice try tho.. Gotta remember that the danger is the fact that the engine crankshaft "Might" rotate in EITHER direction without warning... Nice try tho.. ag

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
