Running Like S**t S90-V90 1996

I started it yesterday. It clanked a bit, since the oil had drained back, but then made the dreaded whirring noise. I gave it a rest for a few mins and went at it again. It did catch and ran like s**t but it did smooth out. Lots of black smike came out of the tail pipe.

The morale of the story is to drive the car and not let it sit. I'm sure she had the lawnmower syndrome, stuck valves. I'll do an oil change in a day or so.

I work at night and it's cold in the morning. I'm also going to try using the suction method to remove the oil. The filter will be a PITA with this method.
