I brought a 1.3 on t40's, higher lift cam (fook knows what), 4 branch and full ashley system, ported head and it has had a new short motor/valves lapped in etc 4000 miles ago. It's been sitting in my shed about a month and at the guys house who had it before for about 3 months. it's not going in the car yet because im seam welding and smoothing in the inner wings etc. I want to check its not seized by starting out of the car. Is there any way to go about it? things to do/check??
It has normal oil fill level in and is sitting kinda up right (a mate can son sort that though) so any suggestions?
Also what other mods can i do to get more power without spending the earth?
Cheers fellas.
