Got my alternator mounted, pulled the valve cover & spark plugs and confirmed that my engine that's been sitting 17 years isn't locked up. Turning the fan I was able to watch all the valves working and only felt a slight spot where the cylinders had been sitting. I'm hoping there won't be any issues there. I had put 2 oz of MMO in each cylinder back in January to let it soak.

I also was able to drain all the old antifreeze. I still need to flush it good.
