They gave some good advice. I would add that after it has sat with the Msytry Oil in it, prior to hitting the starter button, I would roll the engine by hand with the plugs out and let it sit for a bit longer. This blows excess oil out of the cylinder prior to starting. Rolling the engine moves the internal parts around to diffferent locations and allows oil to reach different spots internally,. It also coats the cylinder walls from top to bottom with the presoak oil and it insures that the engine is really free and ready to start. PS. I've also taken a fondness to Auto Trans Fluid as a presoak .. it seems to "travel" or "creap" on it's own. By that I mean put a drop on a piece of steel and come back a day later and see how big the area has gotten. A little goes a long way. I've put about a spoon full it in flat head plug hole valley to soak the plug and a week later the whole head was "damp" from the oil creaping.

Thanks for the advice! Do you think all of the soft seals and gaskets will have to be replaced as well? I'm kind of a classic car novice and am trying to get some quick guidance on how to best approach getting this thing back to being a cruiser! Thanks again!
