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. -------------------- |

You should tell them that how long it's been sitting. When a motor sits that long, you should put lube in each cyl a day before you are about to start the motor. It's prolly been sitting another year before you got the motor too. I think the lube everyone uses is called marvel mystery oil. It's a penetrating lube for the rings.
