Hoodooman, How long did this engine sit since you have started it again? It sounds like you recently woke it up from long storage?

Correct. The guy wasn't positive how long it sat, but years. Maybe 10?

Yes, the rings might start to seal better. Drive the heck out of it for a while. Maybe try some MMO in the crank case and gas, it might be snake oil but I've used it from time to time.
