I bought a 1973 2.0 914 that has been sitting for the last 5 years in a guys garage .. he thinks the eng hasn't turned over and is seized ... is there any tricks in trying to get it to turn over .. I have heard of bus engines sitting for years and guys going out and firing them up .. would love to hear from anyone that has had the same problem .. Thanks.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That's what I did before I got my 1.7L fired up after 12 years - Marvel Mystery Oil. Once you get close to firing it up, make sure nothing valuable is behind the tailpipe (like your wife's Mercedes) or you might get lots of ancient crud bits all over it. Ask me how I know. Once I got mine running it took about a half hour of running before that oil burned off. In the meantime, I laid down a nice white smokescreen for the neighborhood.
