Re: Engine sitting for 10 years: should it be oil primed first?
Understand not wanting to disturb the dist. but priming is really a must.
I like to drop the pan on an engine that has been sitting for that long for a general inspection.
Pulling the plugs, lubing the cylinders and slowly turning it by hand is a small start. Changing the oil and filter is a must and spinning the oil pump through the dist hole is the best way but it can also be done with a pressuruzed pre-luber if you can get access to one.
It works by injecting oil into the galleries through a plug like the oil sender hole. Still not as good as sucking clean new oil up though the engine driven pump though.
