[Healeys] Restarting engine

[Oudesluys]

I would fill up the engine to the brim with oil, leave it soak for a 
while so oil will get into all the crankshaft and camshaft bearings. 
Also squirt some penetrating oil on the pistons, turn over by hand than 
drain the oil to the normal level, crank the engine without plugs until 
you have pressure than refit the plugs and start the engine and let it 
idle for a while.
