Starting an engien that has sat.

[Dan Neuman <dneuman@stars.sfsu.edu>]

Hello All,
        In the next couple days or so I actually plan on starting up my 
new engine.  I believe that it was last run around six or so months ago.  Any
advice as how to go about starting it up as not to damage it??  I think there 
is a tech tip somewhere about this, could someone point me to it??
        I want to change the transmission oil.  Does it take the same stuff
as the rear end?? i.e. gear oil 80-90 wt???
        Thanks,
                Daniel 69 2000
