[Healeys] Pre -lube BJ8 engine that has been in storage

[Alan Seigrist]

Hi Mitch -

It's not really critical to prelube a stored motor.  There will be enough
old oil on the cylinder walls and bearings the motor should be fine to
start and let idle under no load.  Just don't rev the motor until the oil
pressure builds up.

Best,

Alan
