Hey guys,
my ST185 3sgte motor has been lying in my garage for about a year now because I never had time to swap it. Its in a shop right now about to be start up and have a compression test done to it. I was just wondering what do you think could be a common problem with an engine lying there for so long??? Please let me know, thanx in advance. -------------------- |

ill tell you something i learned with my motor. replace every gasket you can think of, because they will all leak. do the valve cover gasket, rear main seal, distributor gasket, thermostat, waterpump, timing, belt, idler pulley and tensioner, and everything else you can think of.
