Hello TR listers
here is one to try out our new TR list. I am near the turn the engine over
stage, I have obtained running in oil (of the classic variety) and I was
wondering how soon before I actually try and start the engine should I put
the
oil in, is there any advantage to waiting for the day or is it useful to have
it sitting in the sump for a while beforehand. The second question is what
should I put in the radiator, water, water/antifreeze or coolant, is there an
opinion on what's best for the sidescreen set-up. BTW this is Ireland where
conditions are never more extreme than +28C and -4C.
