Any suggestions before starting my fd after 6 month sleep
So did a major overhaul of shit on my FD (v mount, twin oil coolers, wide body, headlights, hood, full suspension and bushings, abs delete) it took me 5months to finish everything because i do it all myself but im ready to start my car up again. The engine is a bridgeport single turbo and hasnt been started since May maybe early June. The engine only has about 3000 miles on it total. So what should i do before starting it. I already got new oil and new plugs to put into it, and new coolant, just wondering if theres something else maybe i should flush out or you think it should be fine?

Prime the oil system, then fire it up.

6 months isn't a huge deal. I agree with ^ , just turn it over a few times to prime everything. When I have an engine down for a long period of time I try to turn it over every couple weeks if that is possible.
|
so should i drain the oil and put new oil in then crank it over or do it now before i drain it ? the oils been sitting for that long but i changed it like 2 weeks before i took everything apart so it has like 80 miles on it at most but has been sitting for 6 months.

As arghx mention, 6 months is nothing. Just prime the oil system and start it up.

aite cool thanks guys as usual
|
does oil become "stagnant" from being stored actually in a motor? not just rotary specific... is there a time limit before it becomes bad?
