I have a possibility to get a =
Vanagon camper
diesel that has been sitting in my friend's driveway for 5 years or so =
and I am
looking for advice on how to start it up after such a long period of
inactivity. Changing the oil is a no brainer, but getting the oil
circulating with no load on the engine to minimize metal damage is not
immediately available to me. If it were a gas motor I'd pull the =
plugs and
crank the motor until I got pressure before a real startup, but how can =
I do the
equivalent in a diesel?
Any other suggestions on getting a =
long idle bus
on the road and reliable would be appreciated also.
Thanks in advance.
