Don't have to take the engine out to do a front reseal or water pump. I strongly suggest replacing the timing and balance belts before you even try to crank it over. Also draing the fuel tank and back flush the fuel system from the fitting on the front of the fuel rail. Might even want to pull the fuel pump and do a bench flush and cleaning. Replace the fuel filter too.

I picked up an 86 engine that had sat for almost four years. New belts and water pump. Some of the aluminum seals at the oil pressure sender and oil pressure regulator. No other leaks. Runs great.

When was the last time you changed your timing and balance belts and/or cam chain and tensioner?
