What procedure should be followed to restart a stock engine that has been sitting a while...like 10 years or more? Just the mechanicals, Not FI, Not electrical etc.
Here are my thoughts, what else should be done? Engine Drain engine oil, install new oil filter Flush crankcase with 2-3 quarts of Marvel mystery oil, drain *check for internal corrosion Fill crankcase full of Marvel oil, let soak for at least a month (How much Marvel oil will fill the case?) Drain Marvel oil, install new oil filter and fill with motor oil Replace pushrod tube seals, valve cover gaskets Hope that rear crank gasket does not leak, replace if req'd Check for leaks, repair leaks Check/adjust valves Transaxle Drain trans oil Flush trans with 1-2 quarts new oil, then fill Hope front trans seal does not leak, replace if req'd Check for leaks, repair leaks *I may have access to a borescope from work that may get me get into the gas tank, cylinder chambers and any other orifice to check for internal corrosion, cylinder scoring etc and will do that if I can borrow the scope for a weekend. |
