Crank (up) (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rev

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">crank up</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for rev that I've seen before include "Increase speed of (an engine)" , "Accelerate (abbrev.)" , "Clergyman, or woman (abbr)" , "serviceman?" , "Clergy title" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times and The New York Times.
