Starting my rebuilt flathead
My flathead was rebuilt and put on a dyno 3 years ago and run. I am very close to trying to start it for the first time while it is in my 1939 pickup. I haven't turned it over at all since it was run and it has been sitting on an engine stand and then in the vehicle until now.
I assume I need to put some oil in the cylinders and turn over the motor by hand a few times. Should I also take off the carburator bowl and look for any varnish?
What do individuals recommend for starting this motor after it has sat for a period of time?
I would appreciate any advice for the initial startup and thanks for the input.
