Engin has not run for a long time
Hi i got a rx-7 1985 gsl .. i live in Quebec Canada and im wondering about my engin.Ive been working on my 7 for two years and planed to do the engin last.Ive 100% finished the body and suspention and brakes.Brake Pads , Discs . Rotors, bleeders and inside of calipers are all new . Even the emergency brake lines are all new .Finished calipers are orange , all suspention barres are painted red and bolts orange.Coil springs , diffential and drive-shaft are metalik blue .bolts are red.
Painted the car black after giving the undrneath 6 coats of special polyurethane inforced with titanium paint to prevent rust.... Anyways
The engins has not runed since two years now .... do you think im gona have any problemes with it ????? its a 12A
I replace all straps , changed altenator , painted all brakets and bought chrome splicers.New performance air ibowl and completely changed he fire systeme ... coils , plugs , wires , cap rotor , rotor..... Changed Rad and rad housing to AEM performance.. thats all for now ...

first drain your fuel tank, and the fuel lines including the filter and Carb. Fill with fresh gas (and premix at 100:1 for the first tank) after that you don't need to premix. change all other fluids ( oil etc) pull the leading spark plugs and prime the rotors with about 6 cc's of engine oil (use a syringe) disconnect your coils, and the fuse for the fuel pump. crank the engine until you get an oil pressure reading. Hook up the coils, adn the fuel pump fuse. attempt a normal start. proceed from there.
it will smoke like crazy for a few minutes while the oil you primed it with burns out, and the first tank will smoke a little from the added premix (plus it will foul the plugs a little more than normal) but this will protect the engine on its initial startup as your omp lines are probably dry, so there will be no oil in them for the first couple of minutes. and there is proably no oil on the rotor walls from sitting so long.
this is the best way to avoid damage.

If you can turn the engine over by hand that's a good sign. I had my 83 stored for a couple years and a transmission bearing went bad. Use good lube in the trans and diff: I use Redline, now, in all cars.
When I picked up my REPU I squirted a little Marvel Mystery Oil in each plug hole first, turned it over by hand, then started it, and all was well.
