What you will find out about the cars that sit a long period of time, is that they gum up and carbon builds up....you'll need to go in and adjust the valves probably every 1000 miles because they were never adjusted as they should be..

You will also want to do a lot of oil changes, you will see that the oil will become very thick because once the valves are in spec and you start driving it....the oil will do is job cleaning the gunk/carbon out of the engine..

On my car, the valves were all tight and to the point where the nut could barely break free...checking the valves and adjusting them ever 500 miles slowly freed up massive amounts of carbon....I would do an oil change every few month and the oil filter would weigh 20lbs....from sitting, not being driven at high speeds and not having valve adjust really clogged my engine up...plus the owner was using wvo which made it worse..

Would love to see photos of your car too!!!
