Does anyone know the socket size for the crankshaft nut on front of 340 engine?

I need to turn the engine by hand to check a few things.

I know it is bigger than 1"

Cheers Ali

ali, if its the same as big block i,m pretty sure you can get away with 30-32mm socket as long as its hexagon

32mm does the job as Jim said! must be hex. I've used one many times.
