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

Coolant flush. Mine was nasty.
