[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 14896531, member: 8854"] I really don't know the science behind an engine that has sat for years. I've heard an engine start that sat for years and it made a hell of a racket for a few seconds till oil got back through everywhere and then it went quiet again. It also had plenty of score marks after that. You could just pull the valve covers and see the lines in the cam lobes. I've had the opportunity to see inside a few engines that had sat for years and then fired and seen the score marks. Much more than that I couldn't tell you. If it was my car personally and it had been sitting for 2+ years like OP I'd take a few minutes to prime the oiling system like it was a new engine build and fire it. Just my opinion from what I've seen. [/QUOTE]
