Help with planning to bring 1924 back to life

Posted by docgartner On 2012/7/28 19:21:01

It has been approximately 4 years since my 1924 6 cyl Touring car (model 120?) has run. At that time it was running fine. No stabilization measures were undertaken prior to this period of storage. I have the opportunity in this next coming month to get my hands dirty trying to prepare the engine to run.

I would appreciate any help from the forum with creating a check list of items to address so I don't cause any damage to this fine car and giving me a good chance for successful starting of the motor. I have had one individual suggest even pulling spark plugs to spray inside the cylinders with WD-40 before trying to turn the crankshaft. Any thoughts?

My plans are to relocate the car to my backyard this fall so more attention is possible and also to enjoy the car regularly.

Thanks for any help.
