Restarting the engine
My A has a new engine, but has never been installed in the car. Was built 8 yrs. ago. It was been in my shop with every opening covered with clean rags. I’ve tried without complete success to, turn the engine over and squirt a squirt of marvel mystery oil in each cylinder once a month. It is free and turns over with great compression. It has inserts in the bottom end and a B head. My wife is and has been on me to complete putting it (the car) back together. Will the engine be fine still? Comments please

Re: Restarting the engine
Engine should be fine. When you install the engine and add oil, remove the distributor and pour 1 quart of oil down the hole, this will put oil in the dipper tray so when you start the engine there will be oil for the rods.

Re: Restarting the engine
It was started for me when I picked it up. Do you suppose I should drain this oil and start over again.

Robert oil is cheap maintenance ! Drain and replace the oil it's been in there 8 years.

Re: Restarting the engine
I believe your right, guess I’ll recycle it or use on burning brush.
