Default Engine that hasnt been started for a year.

Is there going to be any problems with not starting the engine for a year. Is there anything i can do to make sure everything is lube up and ready to start up. I'm just worried that i might spin a bearing with an engine that hasnt been running for one year because the crank might not be lube up with oil. Or is the engine is going to be fine?

Change the oil first...Then pull the ecu fuse and crank it for a few seconds to build oil pressure. Then put you ecu fuse back in. Then replace the gas. You should be good.

there should be a drain plug on the bottom of your gas tank.
