I just picked up this Olds 330 and I kinda want to try to get it started as it sits right now. I know nothing about this engine and plan on checking compression, doing a leak down test, and checking oil pressure while priming before I go any farther. When checking the oil pressure, I will make sure oil is getting up to the heads and draining back okay.
If all that checks out good, what do I do to prepare? The old oil is still in the engine. Is there anything I should do before I change the oil? I am thinking I need to put some oil in the cylinders. I will change the plugs. Is it okay to use Lucas break in additive that has zinc additives? That is all I have in my area right now.
I know I am probably missing some things, so what all do I need to do?
