Two steps forward and a giant leap backwards.

Why are you not driving it? Stop letting it sit there and idle. Get some load on it before you kill any possibility of decent ring seal. Letting it idle with no load won’t build oil temperature. Get a load on it.

Because I can’t drive it. It needs and alignment and exhaust still. Once I get this sorted out it’s going to get both. As for why it sat for a few years, life got in the way.
