Only sitting for a year? I wouldn't worry about it unless it was outside under a snowpile or out in the rain.

Get some good synth in it right away - try to spin it by hand to get the oil into all the nooks an crannys before you go pounding on it with the engine.

Thanx...it took me a long time to shrug the "No Girlfriend" avatar message, so I figure I'd put up something nice...

Makes most of the guys look...
