Hi all,
A new member eisenhart1992 posted here a couple weeks ago. Like me, he is new to the game and looking for advice.
He is preparing to try to start an engine that's been sitting for forty some years and got good advice from the members here.
Mine has been sitting for 50 years so I pulled the oil pan, cleaned it all out and put in new oil. I finally got it started and after
about an hour of running time I have again drained the oil and removed the pan. I found quite a bit of gunk in the bottom
of the pan again from flushing the new oil through there. I would suggest that he consider the same to get that stuff all
out of the engine before running it too much. Oil is cheap compared to motors.
