Default Re: Starting my rebuilt flathead

Engines that have run retain oil in and around the rings, as soon as you start to turn them the oil will squash out and lube the bore , if you add some oil down the pots you may need to tow to start ,you could also give it a shot of Kerosene that will help set the rings ,Ted
