Any tips?

My pig has been idle for a few months with a bad case of the wrinkles...(wreck damage).

Should I dump a little oil in each cylinder before start up to pre-lube the engine? Will this foul the plugs?

TIA
Greg

 

take out the spark plugs, and crank the engine over several times to prime the oil system

Yeah, just to be on the safe side....But a couple of months ain't too long. You should try and start it every couple of weeks and let it run for a minute or two.....That or just go race the bitch!

Thats the worst thing to do.

It will collect moisture in the crankcase and exhaust system that does not get burned off and waste battery charge. Let it sit if you're not going to warm it all the way up.

That is what I ment to say...Bring it up to temp.

 

unplug the ecu and crank to get oil into the system. then start and warm up
