The boat's on the hard now, so it will have to wait until next year to know for sure. It was definitely not extended cranking. The one bummer is that, while putting the valve cover plate back on, I broke a bolt by overtightening. Now I have another problem to solve.

Once you get the broken bolt extracted, this is a great time to convert to studs!
