Should be fun to flog it!

I think the first thing is I'm gonna baseline it; ensure that it's set up correctly. Chances are that a dealership going bust may not have insured that all things were as they should be; shortcuts may have been taken.

I think I'll see if I can find a shop manual, drain and refill all fluids to spec, change to fresh oil, check valves and torque settings all 'round, ect.
I think I'll do the "heat cycle" type of quick break-in and check static and leak-down pressures, and then switch to high-quality synthetic right after ring bed-in.

Any suggestions on what type of venue to keep this going??
Twitter, blog, or just do weekly updates here????

Do we have a name for this grand experiment, yet???
