Here is my problem my 91 NSX has not been started for 1 & 1/2 years.
>How do I safely start the engine up? What do I put above the pistons to keep from scaring them or worse seizing up?? Oil or WD-40?
1). My concern is that because the cylinders are at an angle then a teaspoon of Oil will only lube 1/2 the ring.
2). I was told by 2 mechanics that WD-40 is safe to pre-lube. Yeah, I could see doing that on a Chevy350, but a VTEC? Then again, I would think WD-40 would be much easier to spray around the cylinder walls than using a teaspoon of oil. Also WD-40 would prevent a hydro-lock.
Is WD-40 bad for the inside of the VTEC engine in such a small amount? Would it hurt my oil pump & filter??
Please help me here ASAP,
Thanks in advance.
