My 80 has been in storage for a while. I plan to restart it soon. I will take the plugs out and fog/oil the cylinders to avoid running the engine dry at first. Not sure it's necessary but I'm willing to go the extra distance just for peace of mind. My question is: if I do use oil fogging (or just squirting some in for that matter), will it mess up the cats? I'm thinking that since the cats are intended to burn extra hydrocarbons it will just burn the extra oil off after a while with no ill effect. Is that likely the case ? Part of the issue is that I need to have it smogged before I can drive it around much more than just going to the smog test site, so it's not like I can drive 1000 miles for the cats to clear up before the test. Conceivably I could drive an hour or 2 and plan to do that, would that be enough?
