Daniel,
So very glad to hear that you've gotten her rolling over!
Of course, fresh plugs and an oil change are recommended - Expect
some smoke on the first firing, the remnants of the penetrating oil will
burn up. Should it continue however, you might find that the damage is more
severe and you're burning lubricating oil. If this is the case, the oil
rings might be stuck and some running might loosen them up, but, if the
rings are shot or the cylinders are scored you will continue to burn oil.
Rings are easier to swap - but if the cylinders are scored further
problems could result.
