very good video i’ve owned 6 or 7 Vintage or Antique British Cars and at one point or another they all sat unused for many years the explanations and tips in this video are great i never knew that would prime the oil pump so quickly although it makes sense to me of course not all my cars had electric starters although i guess a easy solution t that would be to use the factory hand cranks and something to spin the motor enough to p prime and build oil pressure like the strong neighbors kid who is always home playing video games LOL Moss Motors are one of my heroes for providing us wacky car enthusiasts tips and parts for our passions ! Happy Motoring as they say
I used to own a small 10hp sidevalve ford. I'd make sure to run the engine up every 4 weeks without fail. I'd also turn the engine over on the starting handle between time. When laying the car up after the summer shows, I'd put the car on stands, and fit my battery conditioner. . I never had any issues with the car after the winter lay up in 27 years of ownership. Thanks for your great films and opinions.👍
Great advice. I have a Chrysler Imperial 1969 with 70,000 original miles. Has not been started since 1990. 440 engine. I see we have a lot of work to do
what if it’s a 2002 but only has 2,400 miles on it? should i be concerned there was a problem before it was stored? also is there any advice for starting a car this old that was obviously barely ever driven? it’s a 2002 camaroz28 and from an actual chevy dealer. should i worry about all the fluids that may have sat in it for long periods of time?
what if the motor is aluminum?? do you still have to prep the motor with wd-40? i have a 2014 NISSAN VERSA that sat for 3 yrs it has an aluminum block.
3-in-1 or a similar light machine oil might be a better choice, but I’m only going on logic and the limitations of my experience. (You’ll have to take your own guess at what degree of limitation that is.)

Excellent video. You're going to help me start my Triumph 2500 S motor. Don't know when it was started last, but it was years ago!

And we like captivated children at storytime sat with eyes like saucers as you waved your hands.
This is more ASMR than ASMR.
Great comprehensive and informative video!
another excellent video!
After listening to this I wrapped my 70 pontiac in a blankie and warmed her oil on my stove before letting her drink.
Great video
Best video ever..
Your voice is so soothing
thanks so much
Amazing
I always just turn the engine over for a little bit then start it. But that's only after a month of sitting.
is this the same narrator in those engineer videos

Follow the same advice.

with wd-40? i have a 2014 NISSAN VERSA that sat for 3 yrs it has an aluminum
block.
When he says "penetrating oil", does he mean basically WD40?
Yes, or something similar, just a light spray on the cylinder walls.
PB Blaster is the best penetrating oil IMO, it doesn't evaporate and acts as a lubricant until heat takes it away

Jamaica oil
Okay, these Moss Motor videos are beyond creepy...
