Default Re: Tight engine

I started my car on a rebuilt tight engine after a tow with the plugs out, aprox. 1 mile. I went to a hill and got it rolling and did the starter+ clutch in 3rd. After it started I just ran it enough to make adjustments and be sure nothing was amiss and then shut it off. I let it set a few minutes and then started it with the starter. It only takes 1 or 2 revolutions to start if all is ok. I have a model T that starts with a prime couple of revs and fires from a dead stop when the key is turned on.
