Engine has'nt started in 8 years

First off, Put fresh oil in. Have a look at the oil and the oil filter for metal particles. If you've got visible metal, you've got problems. Next, pull all of the spark plugs and have a look at them. If you've got a borescope, have a peek at the cylinders. With all of the plugs out, you should be able to put a socket on the crankshaft bolt and turn the engine. Only go clockwise! The engine should turn pretty easily with the plugs out. Provided that goes well, put fresh plugs in and disconnect the fuel line. I'd change the fuel filter, so this is a pretty good place to disconnect the line. Anyway, what you want to do is get the engine turning with the starter but without firing. This will circulate the oil and build some oil pressure. It will also use the fuel pump to pump out all of the old fuel, so be prepared to catch it! If this goes well, connect up the fuel line, add some new fuel, and see if it fires up. Even with a new battery, you may need to have the car on a charger, as you may be spinning the engine a while as fuel pressure builds up. Good luck!
