This has been a helpful thread. Normally I do frame-off restorations, =
but I just found a TR3 which had sat since 2010.  Apart from spots on =
the spare tire cover and floor, the car is rust-free and I don=E2=80=99t =
think it has been restored in the past.  So I think I will just get it =
driving and let someone else decide if they want to drive it or restore =
it.  I put oil in each cylinder yesterday and changed the oil and =
filter.  Today I spun the engine and we have oil pressure.  Tomorrow =
I=E2=80=99ll  see if there is a spark and then see if I can get it =
going.

Hi folks,

I=E2=80=99m about to fire up the TR3 after about a year of storage.

Should I put in a teaspoon of oil into each cylinder and leave it =
overnight before starting?

Cheers!
