    New(to me) motor installed,purring like a kitten.
    When my mechanic first put it in,He called me saying it was bad and making all kinds of noise I called the place where I bought it.The guy said just drive it for 50 miles or so and it would SETTLE in
    He was right.I guess when they have been sitting on a shelf with no oil for months,they get kinda stiff.
    Now to see if it's an oil burner also Stay tuned

    I heard you should store engine with oil in it, thats what I am doing with my RIP one....

    Scott, glad your back in the saddle.....fingers crossed on oil burning....
    Ask forgiveness, not permission.

    That's what I would think,but gas goes bad,so oil probably does too.

    I'll ask about the oil in the motor for storage!
