Guy's
We are about ready to run the engine in my CJ6.
I'm looking for your thoughts and advice on bringing the engine to life since it has not been run since it left the PLA airforce in 2005/6.
The brief background is we detected a cracked cylinder head on one of the lower cylinders (no 5 I think?) and so the inhibit oil was drained and we changed out that cylinder (fitted a used jug, honed bore and new rings etc).
We boro'd inside the gearbox and main engine case and it looked ok but dirty and cacked in crap (maybe the bad quality oil the Chinese used?).
I'm concerned that just filling the oil tank and doing a start will leave the bearings too dry for that 'initial' run period.
TIA
Cheers
