Engine Pre-Lube after storage
I am assuming that most posters on this forum live in Canada and have to put into storage their lovingly restored vehicles over the winter months which here in Barrie, Ontario started on November 10 with the first 15cm snowfall. Like most years my jeep will not be driven until maybe mid to late April. Every spring I cringe of having to crank the jeep on/off for about 2-3 minutes before she fires up and runs smoothly. I worry about the starter wearing and most importantly the lack of oil flow and engine wear on first start-up after months of storage.
So, here is the question and info required...if I pull the plugs from my 67' M38A1 and squirt oil into each cylinder and then crank the engine via the crank bolt and air wrench (set on low) will this pre-lube the system and save engine wear on initial start-up?
Regards,
lesk
