It is in the manual to use the rear engine first, to be sure
it is still running, I seem to remember it was a SB after
some accidents.

As to carrying a 6 inch file to dress prop nicks, that is
allowed ONLY for A&P [P actually] and requires a logbook
endorsement. There are strict allowances for the depth and
position of a nick that can be dressed and the nick must be
properly blended so there are no stress-risers.
