Quick Q:
My Z has been sitting idle in my garage since September while I redid the dashboard. I disconnected the negative battery terminal so as to save the battery.
Everything is reinstalled and I've turned the key to ACC - all the dash lights work!
I want to get it out of the garage and pull in my truck for my transmission swap. Is there anything I should do to the Z before turning it over? Pour a little oil over the valve train, hand-turn the crank a few times? Anything else or should it be fine to just turn over with no prep?
Thanks!

Ah yes, I read your raccoon thread. They do like chewing on hoses and wires though.....they wreck havoc on farm equipment around here. Good luck!

Will check it out before I turn the crank.
