Could be worth replacing the sump oil and a light bore wall oiling before doing a few turns by hand without the pug in. But by now, I would think damage has been done if there is going to be any.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333330154419px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333330154419px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent;">Guy R Day</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333330154419px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333330154419px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent;"><br></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
