[Mk2] [Turbo] oil for run in after 7 years no use.. turbo

[tubbychat3]

As title really..

Should I treat as running in a new engine and work through mineral 200 miles, semi 300 miles, then a quality fully ?

The engine has been sat for 7 years and only turned over once by hand a few weeks ago.

Open to any thoughts and suggestions

Thank you

treat it no different. It's done the miles, the rings are bed into the bores.

Fantastic..

What's preference for a mildly modded tubby lump these days?

Happy to spend a couple of hundred a year

If it has sat for that long with out turning over I would

Drain oil and fuel + filters

Replace

Pull the leads off. Crank a few times to allow the oil to circulate and stop unnecessary ware

will do Ryan. thank you

I'd want to change plugs, dizzy cap rotor etc. Timing belt as well.
