Your post is a little difficult to decipher.
As you have posted in the "MODS" section I think more detail is required, we dont even know if it is a Twin Cam engine :?
You will have to give more information on the hows/when/where/mods/symptoms etc.etc.

How?? - vehicle got off while in slope and was not starting. I had to crank it while vehicle was going down the slope in reverse condition
Symptoms- A sound from the engine side

While trundling backward down a slope, and startling the going motor, the giggling pin will interfere with the johnson rod and spill out all the blinker fluid.

Give us a clue as to your location or original language. The meaning of your text is unclear and sounds like the result of automatic or word-for-word translation. Post in your original language if possible - someone on the forum may understand.

From what you have given, you could be confusing camshaft with crankshaft. Sounds like you tried to 'bump-start' it in reverse gear. Possible crankshaft bolt shear?? Unlikely, but need more accurate info!

Great explanation Roger. I had exactly the same problem with my car. That would be the first place he should start looking, then report back.

That is the nasty part, most governments have pretty stiff fines these days for illegal discharge of blinker fluid.
