Get in it--and run the hell out of it--you just have a collapsed lifter from sitting--it'll pump back up, and everything will be OK--- Just to be safe, throw a pint of Marvel Mytstery Oil in the crankcase ---it'll break lose any stucklfter that you might have-- If you had bee running MMO in the oil when you parked it--ths wouldn't have happened-- Of course you fogged the engine, prior to parking it---right?
