You probably have it all sorted but just remember if you flip Dot on her head you have to drain her fuel as well. She is going to have juices flowing in parts of her engine where they shoudn't, so it would be best to stand her right way up overnight BEFORE you start her. (Maybe even cycle the engine over a couple of times with the spark plug removed first.) Once you do fire her up, be prepaired for a fair bit of smoke and the possibilty of fouling a spark plug before she clears her throat. I think syphoning the oil may be a better option. Try doing it when the engine oil is hot but don't burn your lips... Hey Nathan you’re looking more like Che Geuvera every day!

Better to take it out before the flipping her over to make sure.
