ok so,
I've been doing a lot of research on my Cyl 2 Misfire and rough idle. After changing plugs and a few other quick fixes, I've decided to do a cleaning. I'm confident that its within my capabilities to pull this off, I just wanted to see if anyone could clear up some questions from the DIY's I have been looking at.

Question:
Assuming I only use carb cleaner, in the off chance that I unknowingly didn't get a valve totally closed and some carb cleaner (that will most likely just evap) and loosened carbon drop down into the cylinder, am I looking at totally effing up my engine, or just an unsuccessful cleaning?
Also, after the beast manifold is off, can you really get the cylinders closed by rotating the alternator belt or the bolt on the crank pulley? Or will I need to remove the wheel for sure as the Stasis doc says?
This has been on my mind while I prepare to clean it this weekend.
Those of you who have done this yourself, what were your experiences? Especially on the first startup after the clean?
Many thanks!
