Regarding the light oil in each cylinder, I suggest using a little automatic transmission oil and let it soak at least one day before trying to fire it up.

Besides lubricating the cylinder walls, the ATF will seep into the rings and help loosen them.

Set up your camera to video the start up attempt! The first time firing in over 30 years only happens once!

Fingers crossed, Dean
