Jon,

As a "penalty" I think you should
sit out the 2003 season:D :D :D


No, seriously, do what Later said,
you'll be fine.

Hey! Audiofn!

Is this a Ford block ? ;-) ;-)

What about some gaz line in the cylinders ? ;-) It would remove the water and the condensation? Dont you think?

Anyways, if you have problems with the engine because of the negligence... I got a receipe against rattles and clicking noises :

1 pound of shortning
1 black banana
1 tube of bearing greasse
Mix and fill in the crank case. Have a nice season... ;-)

For the others, it's an inside joke between me and Audiofn.

Serious, I would defenitly empty the old oil, fill with some cheap oil, fog in the cylinders, re-sintall plugs. Then, start your engine, let it warm-up a few minutes (dont forget to connect your drive to a water source! otherwise, say bye bye to your water pump). Flush the cheap oil and fill with recommended oil and change oil filter. Also, you should have filled gaz stabilizer before winter. If it is'nt the case, I recommend that you empty old fuel and fill with fresh juice before starting the engine. Give him a chance. See ya.

GREAT! I have dirty oil in my motor also from last year> Opps:rolleyes:

I was just going to drian it all out, add fresh oil, squirt oil in cylinders n fire it up. OOOOOOOOOPS

Cap...did you Fog your motor when you put it away??? or did you just run antifreeze thru it??

if you fogged it...then dont worry about squiting oil in the
cylinders...that is what the fog does. I hope you even ran the antifreeze thru it...???? If not that work we did last weekend will not matter a bit.

Pimp daddy HI-Perf What's uP?


Yes I fogged it and ran anti-freeze/ the NON green stuff through it HaHa! After it was stalled I pulled the plugs out also and squirted more fog into each cylinder. Only thing I did was leave the used oil in it. I was just going to fire it up let it run for 10 mins on hose than change oil n plugs. Or do you think I should chane oil b4 I fire it up?

Cap,

There isn't anything wrong with leaving the old oil in the motor over the winter. If condensation found it's way in, then you have old oil to drain it out. Not new oil to run it through the motor when you start it up for the first time.

That's the key however. You drain it out, replace with new and then run it through the engine.
All that acid and condensate that has been talked about is sitting in the pan not hurting a thing.

Drain the old, replace with new, if you can prime it, even better. Start it up and go.
Same goes for you Audio, just make sure you have some lubrication in the cylinders first.

DAVE
