Here are some of the basic checks you should start with:<\/strong><\/p>\nCheck the oil level and make sure it’s fine. Observe the color, too. If it’s too dark, it’s no longer good.<\/p>\n
Check the oil for metal flakes, water, sludge, or anything that shouldn’t be found in it under normal circumstances. If you find metal shavings in the oil, that’s a sign that there’s metal-to-metal contact and parts of the engine are wearing out.<\/p>\n
Check the engine for oil leaks. You can tell an oil leak when you see a fresh layer of oil on top of the crud.<\/p>\n
Check the coolant in the radiator. Aside from its level, check it for rusty sludge, and determine its clarity. Also check for water pump leaks and for gross signs of damage to the radiator.<\/p>\n
Check the fan belt to be sure if it needs replacing.<\/p>\n
Take a look at all of the wiring. Check for breaches, seemingly abnormal connections, or naked wires.<\/p>\n
Finally, check the engine mounts to be sure that they still do a good job of holding the engine in place.<\/p>\n
After these checks, you can then proceed to start the engine for further assessment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
