Starting a “stored” engine
Im bound to ruffle feathers with this question but it’s not my intent.
I have a 400 I got cheap that was stuck although not terribly and it now turns freely. I know nothing about the engines internals aside from it has unmarked pistons (stock bore?) and a good amount of sludge in the pan. I pulled one rod cap and one main and they look ok to my relatively untrained eye. I have no immediate plans for it but someday I’d like to do a proper rebuild on it. Most likely one step at a time very slowly as funds become available. Im a little curious to know if it would run though. Would you spend any effort clean it up and see if it would run or am I opening a can of worms?
