340 with metal in oil pan

Some high desert cats I know pour a splash of beer down the carb when they first fire a motor.
My dad would spend an hour squirting tranny fluid down the carb throat .
He did that to the cars that sat for a long time after he first got them running again.
He valued his beer too much , the garage was full of empty Lowenbrau bottles. lol
Man I miss those days and dad
