My car is currently in my dry garage.The rebuilt forge engine only has 1-200 miles on it and all new fluids etc but its been stood a long time.What should I be doing before starting it up.
I'm looking at removing plugs and putting little oil in each cylinder and leaving it a few days.Then turning it over with coil disconnected.I don't have the facilities to drain the tank so was just going to go(very steadily) straight to the petrol station and fill up once its running.Its only a mile away.
Apart from checking the oil looks ok, what else should I be looking at doing before starting it up.
Its more the engine side I am concerned about.Not too worried about wheel bearings/tyres as I am expecting to have to replace the bearings anyway and have new tyres ready to go on if necessary.
