IF it sat for over a year, you will have brake issues.
oil pumps like to slop a bit, heavier oil wont really fix it. youll have low pressure at idle

Plausible or just false hope?

I worked on more 300-6, from '93-99, than you ever will. Auto Solutions attracted primarily Volvos and F150s, with Hondas as a distant third. Aside from an old G10 van, my Triumph fetish, and a 323, all I have owned and all I've bought for my mom and for my babymomma are Volvos, Fords, and Hondas.
They are what I know.

So, should I go for it? I need a DD but if I need to spend a couple hundred on small fixes, I don't mind. If it's something rediculously expensive or time consuming, I'll pass.
