Ok, looking for some help. I have a 1998 Boxster that I bought without much info about the engine. It's been sitting for 8 years. It appears to be in good shape. I replaced the keys, locks, immobilizer computer and ignition. Now I'm looking to see if the engine is any good. Is there a way to see if it's seized and what should I do before trying to start it if it's not seized. It has 61K on engine. My son and I are working on this together and are hoping for the best.
