Is there anything special I should prior to starting the engine, the car has been parked for six months?

Hi there,

After 6 months, all I would be doing is pulling the plugs add a small amount of oil to each Cly and give it a crank over with the plugs out, this will lube up the bores so you don't damage a bore with a dry start, this will also get up oil pressure in the system so all bearings will be well lubricated.
