Hey everyone,

Because I live 75 miles away from work and am commuting by train (3-5 hours of the day on a train or waiting for one) I haven't had much time to do anything but work and sleep. I *might* have time to FINALLY bleed my clutch this weekend. Only problem now is that the truck has been sitting for about 3 months - is there anything I should check up on? I'm most likely going to change my oil...

it might be a good idea to disable your coil (ignition) and crank the engine some to get the oil flowing before you start it.

pull the plugs out and crank it over a few times to get oil through the main and rod berrings, put plugs back in and fire it.

Thanks guys - I am concerned about the oil and was wondering what the best way to handle this was

Tacoma Dude

Not sure but I did unhook the terminals about a month ago.

You should probably kick a tire or two.

Tacoma Dude

hmmm... good point. I haven't checked the tire pressure since I aired up after Big Bear over a year ago!

you should also once you get it running maybe run some seafoam through it before you change the oil


it will smooth things out and knock lose any gross buildups
