Nice, I'm hearing those suggestions, thanks. The trickle charger I did forget to mention...I will have that. Can't and won't sacrifice that 90 dollar marine grade!

Def. up on jackstands and watch the rat infestation and fill tank and treat....and the tarp underneath...that's something I hadn't thought of but is definitely necessary....it is a dirt floor indeed. My aunt has let a beautiful GM rot in her own barn for years thinking all is ok....I tried to tell her....oh well. Gracias for the reminder on that one.

My thinking on starting it and letting it run would be to let it run for a good bit, like 30 minutes at idle. Would that be bad for it as well ya think? Perhaps I could run it for less time but keep the rpms up to around 1800 to not only heat 'er up but get better circulation in the process? If so.....twice a month would suffice you think?

Thanks, Dustin '85 Vanagon, 1.9, "The Triple Betty"
