OK.........73 that hasn't started in 15 years........already drained the gas 'n' put in new high octane gas with some seafoam..................I was thinking of adding some seafoam into the oil just to possible unstick maybe something that the oil comes into contact inside the engine...........is this a bad concept...........you never know where rust might lurk ('specially on a 914)..............any other suggestions to help me kick this thing over and bring it to life would be deeply appreciated.............THANKS

I had a motor as you described. I let myself get talked out of trying to start it because of the possibility of rust inside. I tore the motor down. I wish I hadn't. The rust concern is ligitimate. I suggest removing the intake runners. This is where all the rust was on my motor. The inside of them will also serve as an indication of how much rust may be inside. Clean them and install. All the other advise sounds good to me. The fuel pump on mine was trash. The fuel goes THROUGH the motor. It is a coolent for the motor. Fuel lines may also be junk. Injectors? wait and see. Lots of luck on your restart.
