I am thinking about buying a 84 6.2 with sidewinder truck. It’s been sitting 15 years or more. Aside from changing all the filters and fluids, batteries, and priming the system, what else should I do to try and get this to start?

Think WD-40 in the cylinder would help too?

It will not hurt it,
If you are doing it for the rings try some marvel mystery oil,or tranny fluid
Opps i meant to say gender neutral sliptivity juice.
