what to do

i am new to the whole rotary thing. I just bought a 1986 rx7 for $200 cdn. and just got it running after the car had sat for around 4 years. i was wondering if there is any thing that i should do to the motor before running it on the street.. i was told something about putting tranny fluid in the engine to do some thing about the apex seals.. are there any ohter things that i should do

I made a detailed post on this...If you search for my name under "storage" you should find it. Do not put automatic transmission fluid in your engine.
