Engine Help

Does anyone know what is the best way to lube an engine that has been sitting up for a while (several years!!!) without messing up anything?????

Thanks

Shoot some penetrating oil or WD-40 into the spark plug holes; let it sit for a while; then shoot some motor oil in there.

To prime the oil system, you need the tool from Moroso or you can make an equivalent from an old distributor. That works best after the other is done. Use a ½" drill to prime it while turning it over with the starter.
