Default Waking up 401 after a long sleep
My 401 came from a "New Idea" harvester but no info on hours, etc.

Right now I can't rotate it but the engine isn't tied down so it wants to lean over so I can't get too forceful with it.

Gonna get it on my engine stand soon and start figuring out what condition it's in and what I have to do to get ir running. (Got a good friend that used to work on them so he may be helpful).

But here's my question. If it's locked up and I have to tear it down what do I need to have on hand to put it back together if it's in reasonable shape?

I assume I'll need a gasket set -- what else would you suggest I start looking for now so I can have it on hand when I'm ready to put it back together?

Thanks
