We cranked it up the other day and it sounded good. I am having a mechanic look at it this week. The only big problems I have noticed are a little oil leaking around the #1 cylinder and some oil on the rear end. Attached Images Last edited by EricSarratt; 08/15/22 05:23 AM.

Typically the brake and fuel systems suffer the most from a vehicle sitting a long period of time. Rusty VCCA #44680
