RE: IML: Starting after a long rest period

[<MiguelMunoz2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan,

I've just had the same experience a few weeks ago. I found my car ('66 LeBaron) after 16 year storage in a old building. The previous owner died and nobody else wanted to enjoy the car and no maintenance was performed. I just changed fuel, oil filter, sparks and their wires, battery, tyres, add oil to the gearbox conversor. The engine took just some turns to start working. We washed it and it ran perfectly some 300 miles. These engines are eternal.

Regards

Miguel from Spain.

Asunto: Re: IML: Starting after a long rest period


We're trying to contact an out of state owner about an Imperial that she's 
been paying storage fees on since 1993. In preparation it would be helpful 
to have information regarding starting an engine that hasn't run for 13 
years. Also, is there a way to "winterize" an engine? For example; fill it 
up with something that will protect while it sits just to keep everything 
wet? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan Collins
