"If the engine starts readily at or below zero the compression is prolly fine, the valves still need periodic adjusting, once you've done them then driven a few thousand miles and re checked them they're good to go for 10,000 miles or one year ."
Nate,
Please explain the 'one year' part of the post you made. 10k miles sure, but If I let it sit for a year without driving there is no reason that the adjustment would be out. The F.S.M. states nothing about a time interval on that service.
