I'd also like to add check all hoses and definately change the coolant, hopefully corrosion hasn't set in. It would also be recommended to change the thermostat and water pump especially if you replace the timing belt, because it sat for so long in one position both may not want to operate properly or be seized up, beter to be safe than sorry. Also I would be warry of all the seals and gaskets on the motor, When an engine runs it splashes oils on gaskets and such which help them from drying out and or shrinking. For instance the main seals...Good Luck
Nick K Jax, FL --Linda, if your rex has been sitting for 6 years, I would highly reccomend changing all your fluids--especially the oil, and possibly the coolant--all relatively simple jobs that will save you grief. You might also want to pull the uppre timingbelt inspection cover, and put a 17mm socket on the crank pulley and look for dry-rot on the timing belt-save risking the motors integrity. I would also bleed the brakes/inspect the lines because brake fluid is known to absorb moisture, and could possibly rust the brake lines. Hope this helps. -M
