"Sitting for 6 years isn't very good for valve springs..... some are compressed. "

Good point. That is why I always tell customers to back off the rockers when letting it sit. Plus it closes the valves and helps prevent humidity from entering the cylinders. Funny how many will spend big time & money on an engine build for their rod, then leave it on a stand for years while getting the chassis & body together. Building the engine should be left for last. In my mind anyway.
