Good afternoon...When you remove the valve covers to check if your valves are loose...if the area is really dirty, give it a good cleaning and then, since the valve area is dirty, assume that the pan is dirty and remove it and clean it out well, and check to see if the oil pump pick up is clear...then put her back together, give her new oil, check/clean the plugs and points, check for tight connections and use a strong battery...when she starts, check the oil pressure right away...also a good idea to put a little Marvel Mystery Oil into all the cylinders and let it soak for a couple of days before you try to turn the engine over...many an old engine was damaged by the fellow who cam along after a number of years and attempted to just drop in a battery and hit the starter...Good Luck...Ernie in Arizona
