i had a pontiac 400 that had sit for god knows how long and it was seized. we dumped a gallon of kerosene down the IM, came back a month later, put it in gear and pushed it and the fan moved. changed the oil, started and ran like a champ

IF that engine had the ability, i would prim the oiling system by just rotating the oil pump, then install everthing except the plug wires and the fuel pump fuse and build oil pressure with the starter for a bit. i think that woudl be the safest route. but it doens't look like thats possible

You can prime the pump, but it's a major PITA. You have to pull the crank pulley, chain covers, chain, etc to unchain it from the crank. It does run off of its own small chain, but it's behind the timing chain.

You could just get a pump and plumb into the oil pressure switch. It wouldn't be that difficult.

Or you could just stop listening to these guys and run it. If it runs like shit then rebuild/build.. I've had jdm engines come with low tests and right after running for 15-20 minutes they test out fine.

you could install an oil accumulator...

The mystery jdm smoke. I agree I have gotten plenty of jdm motors that on start up were hardly beauties. After a couple hard runs the mystery jdm smoke goes away and they run fine. I agree just throw it in.

right now there is no fluid in it at all. we sprayed a bit of wd40 in the cylinders and the compression seemed to go up a bit. i suppose it could use some oil in it.

you mean no fluid in the cylinder at all....right? of course you do....you must

fwiw, when i picked up my 92 si it had been sitting outside behind a casino for 2+ years.
- Changed oil to royal purple, pulled plugs put some oil in each cyl.
- let sit for about an hour and then put in a bit more.
- craked it loose by hand then cranked the starter till the oil light went out on the dash.
- reassembled and she fired right up smoked lots then cleaned up not long after.

not sure why your compression numbers would vary like that... how many revolutions did you do during the test? Is there any way you can run it for a while then recheck the comp? I realize that might be a dumb question given the photos.

i was under the impression that the exporters oil the cylinders when they pull/hack the engines out

A good importer will put oil in the cylinders, but I've only came across 2 engines that where oiled down.

Let's see some CRX drifting already! or at least a start up. Something anything please

In the last video you can see that his front end is a little too heavy.
This dude is now a dumbmestic ricer.
That thing needs a lot of boost to make up for gay paint and body kit.
