So the motor in the Valiant has been sitting for a decade+, it had a semi fresh rebuild on it a few years before it was parked, MAYBE 10k miles on it? give or take a few thou. I already plan on pulling the motor anyways to do some rewire of the rat and birds nest it has become in the time I drove it.
Would there be a need to pull it all aprt and freshen it up with bearings, rings and seals Or can I get away with changing oil and running seafoam, or another engine cleaner, through it for a bit after its running again. It hasnt been started in probably 4-6 years time.
Oh, it's a 318 +.030 or .040, stock heads and a small RV cam, nothing spectacular.
