Engine has not been run for 15 years. Wondered if there is an oil flush approach. Years ago they used to use kerosene
to sit in a drained engine after turning engine over (start disabled), for a day or so to clean out any oil turned to sludge.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks

After 15 years not sure I would try, but maybe use diesel instead of kerosene, its less flammable and cost less.

Think if I really wanted to try and use it, just take it apart and see if its rebuildable
