Motor prep
My motor recently went out on my second gen Mazda. So I went to the junkyard and was lucky enough to find one with good compression. Assuming it's been sitting for a few years is there anything I should do to prep the motor as far as putting some sort of lubricant in the spark plug ports and turning it by hand?

Pressure test the coolant ports on the short block. Some people have made a block off plate with a nipple for the water pump housing ports on a short block to seal and pressure test with.
