I will add some kerosene or diesel to the oil and run it for a bit. The ignition has been gone through (new cap, rotor, wires, plugs) but I did not have a spec for the points or valves (it's also my understanding the valve clearances should be checked with the engine warm). They seem to be working since the car fires.
I'd like to pull the head and get a look at the pistons, cylinders, combustion chambers, and visually inspect the head. Can I reuse the bolts?
