Brett,

Congrads on the weekend swap out....As to the issue at hand, an old guy I use to work with, who was nothing short of a mechanical genius, had a procedure for engines that had been sitting awhile. He would always put about a teaspoon of transmission fluid (ATF) in each cylinder through the spark plug hole, turn the engine over a few times manually, and then let it sit at least an hour or so. The transmission fluid will burn off when you start her up the next time (major white smoke), but it will provide lubrication to the upper rings, that don't get that much lubrication if the lower rings are seated.

Good luck
