We made some progress bringing along my dad's TR4 (last driven once in '86,
parked for 14 years prior to that). WIth a new battery & new gas, it
started on the third try (accompanied by walnuts shooting out of the
tailpipe - apparently the exhaust looks like a perfect stashing spot to
squirrels. We don't know how they got in the garage.) A few "next step"
questions:
- What brand/kind of brake fluid would be a good choice? I seem to remember
someone on this last saying the "american" brake fluids weren't compatible
with the TR.
- Would it be a good/bad idea to use something like Gunk's "Motor Flush"
prior to changing the oil? Just wondering whether there's any reason to
suspect corrosion or other deterioration while its been sitting there
(although the oil looked fairly clean prior to turning the engine over).
