ok i can handle a gasser that has been sitting- dead easy now that I am an old fart and have banked about 40+ years of wrenching , but the Cummins diesel has me concerned.
(1) how to lube or prime the oil system
(2) how do I get lube to the cylinders

ran when parked - i drove it up from Oregon
Still turns over
pulled a valve cover and the top end was not dry
in dry storage

thanks for the help - I will be bugging a few of you while I get around to doing this.

Went under the knife today - round two - hopefully this sample is cleaner than the last . If they have to do another sample it will be steak size.
