Hi Steve,

I have done a few engines including a TR6 that had set for a while, similar
to your scenario.

Like others, I would brush/blow-off all the debris possible, drop the oil
pan for a look-see, put all of the covers back on, and fill it with cheap
detergent oil for the eventual restart.

Then a quick run followed by an oil and filter change. I think it should be
fine unless it was exposed to water or other contaminants.

best,

doug
