Starting dormant engine
I am anticipating helping a friend next year. She has a Model A that her late husband restored over two years ago. Her nephew tried to start it and I saw a new coil sitting on the running board.
My concern is the lack of oil on the bearings if I try and start this in the Spring. I am considering removing the distributor to insert an oil pump shaft extension. Using a drill motor to spin up the pump before trying to start the engine. Two questions arise, one can I purchase a shaft long enough to accomplish what I want to do and what direction should the shaft turn to produce flow to the bearings. I am not a Ford person but I have restored a 39 Plymouth Pickup truck so I am familiar with internal combustion engines. Thank you for allowing me to post this question. Regards, wings515 |
