Hi All,
I am trying to get a 1986 Chevy 350 running. The engine has been sitting for two years and it will not spin with the starter, what is the process to get it spinning? I pulled out the plugs and they were clean (no rust), the oil in the engine is clean and does not smell stale. My uncle says to just put a breaker bar on the balancer and rock it back in forth until it spins. Is this ok, it seams to me that would be very hard on the bearings? I have already put oil (30wt) in the cylinders and am letting it soak. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, mark
