Yeah. Like having oil in it. I would worry more about the *other* engine. It's
obviously out of oil!

Do you me oil in the bottom cylinders from sitting for awhile?

Do you mean "do you mean"?

I don't think so. I'm guessing he's referring to the notorious oil
consumption of radial engines, with the implication that if you're burning
oil, at least that means there's oil to be burned. An engine of that design
not burning oil very well might be considered suspect.

Yep. "Top off the oil and check the gas." :-)
