KR> Jim Faughn's engine

It would probably help to distribute the oil evenly in the pan for a brief time before start if the engine was level. Not sure what that would do for you. A common practice that I have used for engines that have been sitting for a while is to oil prime the cylinders, put new oil in the crankcase,

KR> bolt torque?

Larry is correct in that a tightened fastener stretches. We use torque because it is easier to measure. Based on the physical characteristics of the metal, the amount of torque applied vs. thread configuration can be used to calculate the approximate stretch of the fastener which, based on the tens
