OK, just got this new parts car and was lucky enough to have markb go down with me to pick it up. When we got there he starts looking at the car and starts talking about how to save the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) I, of course, am wondering if I should start with the 10mm or the 13mm this time seeing that I started with a 17mm last time. So I have decided to follow marks lead and try and get the motor running and would like to know what I should do before jumping the red and yellow on the starter. I checked the oil and it is dry, no oil. I know I should put some oil in but markb also suggested mystery oil in the spark plug holes. Now I am not even sure the motor will turn over so any other precautions before trying to turn the motor over. What is the best way to turn the motor over?? One rear wheel on the ground and turn the other forward?? Sorry if this sounds stupid but I am really good with lefty loosy and not so good with righty tighty. Here is a pic of the car if you have not seen it yet.

I used to work in a truck junkyard with a weird old guy named Doall, like do-all. He'd pull crap out of the yard that had been sitting for more than 20 years and get it to run. He'd take out all of the spark plugs and spray WD-40 in the cylinders and then gently rock the crankshaft back and forth, back and forth, let it sit for awhile, more WD-40, gently back and forth until he got it to free up. He was very gentle so as to not break the rings.
He'd also service the fuel system, clean things and replace the filters, and change the oil. I only saw him fail once. After he got them running I'd paint them. White. Every blinking one of them. |
