We'd like to do a compression check on the 259 in our Champ pickup, using the starter. We have at this point not done any work on the engine. Other than pulled the sparkplugs and carb. This engine has probably not started in 40+ years, so maybe the bearings could be dry? What's a good procedure for ensuring the bearings get oil before doing a compression check?
We drained the oil that was in it, and it had, maybe a quarter cup of water that poured out soon as I pulled the drain plug. We plan to replace the oil, but thought maybe asking about the bearings before we did anything first.
Thanks,
Mike
