Not sure how much oil you put in cylinders, but you may want to spin the engine with starter before you install the plugs just to make sure it does not hydro lock, as well as possible fouling of the plugs it there is oil in there,,,In a message dated 10/1/2013 9:40:27 P.M. Central Daylight Time, neal.zimmerman@xxxxxxxxx writes:Well as a progress report on today i just took my oil squirter can and kept shooting a squirt of 10-40 oil every hour into the spark plug holes. About 5 pm I took the socket and breaker bar and gave the crank a twist. No problem, I was worried after four years it might be stuck, but it rotated without a whimper. I set no 1 cylinder at TDC and reinstalled the plugs. Tomorrow morn I will spin the oil pump with my long priming shaft and a drill, drop in the distributor and fire it up. A little nervous it might blow or something, since I ashamedly admit I never rotated the motor once in all the 4 years she has been sitting neglected over in the corner of the shop. Makes you wonder about the valve springs! At my machinists behest i put in fresh oil and high zinc additive for the cam. Even though it's not a new cam, he still thought it would be a good idea . Pretty excited , we've been having crazy monsoon-like rains here for days, so it's the perfect excuse I have been looking for to get this baby back on the road. Watch, i will enjoy it so much, i won't want to sell it. LOLNeal Zimmerman, Eugene Oregon--

I thought I saved that posting from Don but can't seem to find it right now. Basically Rich is on target but it was the oil pressure sending unit fitting not the gauge. I recall Don indicating he left the drip set up overnight and when he arrived in the morning the engine was pre-lubed. That the oil dripped in over night it would seem it was from a small opening in the oil container.
Thanks,
