Sat for 25 years?!?
Check that it turns. Replace all the rubber hoses. Check the intake boot. Replace oil. adjust valves. Pray. I would assume that the main seals need replacement as well. Better now than after it leaks in the car. |

Better now than after it leaks in the car. Well, here is what I know.... The car was a daily driver until a tree fell on it breaking the windshield and the top. The owner was young and only had liability insurance. The car sat after that. I just pulled the engine (I am keeping the transmission) and without doing anything the engine turned over smoothly with a breaker bar. There is no water in the oil (from condensation) so I feel confident that the internals are good. I would pull off all the external stuff and clean up/renew as required! |
