Pull the spark plugs, lubricate the cylinders and spin with 12 volts to the
starter. Also install a mechanical oil pressure gauge. This will show you
how the rings are and the oil pressure you see is what it will be at 40-50
MPH. It would also be helpful to take a parts washing air gun, put the syphon hose in a bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil and spray in the spark plug holes and down both throats of the carb, turn the engine to open the other valves and spray again. G.M.
