stuck seals?
my 93 has been sitting for a couple years and i am getting it going again. i am worried about the apex seals possibly being stuck. is there something to do before turning it over to help,just in case they are stuck.

The easiest thing to do is to put some MMO down the intake runners and crank the engine by hand a few times. Other than that, if the seals are truely stuck, there are some other things to do but they will require you removing quite a bit of stuff.
Lubricate the system like above, change the oil, put some fresh spark plugs in, drain the gas tank and put in some fresh gas. After that, good luck!

ATF in the spark plug holes might help to unbind or unstick carboned up seals..
remove the EGI fuse and crank to let it build oil pressure as well..

after you do what listed above. run 4 oz's of mmo in with the fresh tank of gas and the next 3 or 4 tanks after that. this should clean and lube the fuel system and intake chambers.
