If the car hasn't been run in years, it's possible that there's gunk in the valve stems and/or pushrods that's preventing oil from being pushed through. It's also possible that the oil sump is plugged.
And this is just my personal advice, but even though you've got the car running, I reccomend a rebuild. It's hard telling what might be floating around in that engine, even if you've changed the oil. |
