Hi All,
I have a 1996 Fairmont ef which I have heavily worked. It has been sitting in the garage and not been started for 6 years now. I'm at a stage where I want to start to enjoy driving it again. My question is in relation to getting it started safely. At current, here is the list of servicing I think is required before starting. If you have any suggestions or experience doing a similar thing please feel free to suggest ideas. - Funnel out fuel and add in new fuel - Replace fuel filter - Replace engine oil and filter (ideally I will remove the rocker cover and pour new oil all over the head and rocker gear when refilling oil to ensure good lubrication) - Change spark plugs and spray oil to coat cylinder walls - Replace & Flush coolant - Replace brake fluid and bleed brakes - New battery - I'd like to turn over the engine by hand before cranking over, but not sure if this is possible whilst it is in the vehicle already? The vehicle is in perfect condition so I want to be on the safe side and not cause any further damage. If you have any suggestions or recommendations I'd appreciate hearing them. I'll be sure to post the first start video here once I get to that point. Cheers, Paul
