My biggest concern is the engines lubrication, I plan on doing an fresh oil change (Any oil suggestions? I was thinking Mobil 1) before starting the car, will that be enough lubrication to to start her safely? I also plan on putting some new NGK Iridium IX plugs in as well.

Any other tips for starting her up?

Take out all you spark plugs ans spray wd40 into each cylinder.

Make sure you have decent oil in there... or just do an oil change.

Crank the engine with the plugs or plug wires out to lubricate everything.

Then you are good to go, common sense stuff really.

How many times should I crank the engine before giving it some spark? Also I have heard you should pull the fuel injectors plugs as well, is that a good idea?

 

Just crank it for a few seconds, not sure if there is an exact amount of time required.

 

Remove the spark plugs and drop a few drops of oil in each cylinder. Change the oil. Unplug the fuel pump and crank the engine until the oil light goes out.
Reinstall the spark plugs, reconnect the fuel pump and start the engine.

 

Should I expect to see some smoke from my exhaust since we are putting some oil in the cumbustion chamber? Or will it drain back into the pan bytime we finish the oil change?

 

it will smoke until it is all burned off
