Hey guys! What do you think is the best way to start up my two cars that have sat in a covered building for 2+ years without being started?
Let me know what you think!
I usually just fill the cylinders with something like Marvel Mystery Oil, let it sit for about a week, then with the plugs out, slowly try to rotate the crank by hand.
If it moves freely, I then turn it over with the starter, with the plugs still out, to purge the oil. I usually spin them on the starter until the gauge shows oil pressure.
I then reinsert the plugs, and start (hopefully) the motor.
I let it run until warm, then immediately change the oil and filter...
Anyone else do anything differently? Any advice or discussion on what to use like the Marvel Mystery Oil?
Let me know!
Thanks!
