Do you guys soak them in oil after winter storage before start up or does pre-oiling and remaining oil cover it? Mines a street only piece with 3000K on them so far. I haven't seen anything that would indicate they need a check, but it has been sitting since Nov and won't be re-started until mid-late April.

Either way pulling the distributor and priming the oil system and then turning the motor over, with the spark plugs removed, on the starter while priming it can't hurt Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Don't want to pull the intake unless it's necessary.
