I just picked up a 1994 13b rebuilt my Mazda trix over a year ago ... The engine has been sitting.... What I'm wondering is is there anything I should do before I putt it in and run it to insure it is ready to go... Any help would be great. Thanks

Drop some ATF into the chambers and turn it by hand to lubricate the internals. Other than that, install away.

i have a block that sitting for a year too.the engine was removed from a car and needs rebuild . i did not pure any oil in the chambers an now it is stuck.
if i drop some oil will free it?
what the coolant has to do with it?

if coolant sits it will eat away at the seals leading to a coolant leak down the road, resulting in having to rebuild the motor again..
