  Hi,

  Been away for a while, and want to get back into my Corvair again !

  I have a 67 Monza that has been in storage for about 10 years, and was 
  previously running OK, with about 76,000 miles on her.

  The engine has an oil leak that drained nearly all of the oil, so she has 
  been "dry" for a while.

  With the wires off (so as not to fire her up with no oil "up top"), the 
  engine turns over manually, and with the starter easily and no obvious 
  problem, and I want to make sure that the rings, etc, will not be damaged.

  What is the best way to start her up again ? Is WD-40 in the spark plugs a 
  good idea, or would this be a problem ?
  I want to get her good and "wet" before firing her up again.

  Anything I should consider at this point (other than tearing her down) ?

  Thanks
  Charles Lee
