[928uk] problems!!!!!!!!help.

[Ccmour at aol.com]

hi all.
im having  problems getting anywhere with my 928s project,i brought  the car 
about 3 weeks ago which was advertised with a cylinder head gaskit  
blown,(lots of oil was in the water!).after help from you guys and a bit of  
investigation it turned out to be rad.,so i bypassed the oil cooler ,put blanks  in the 
rad,connected the battery,and turned the key,but alas nothing  happened.great 
electrical problems.the fault was traced to the inhibitor switch  on the 
automatic gear selector which is easy enough to bypass for the time  being.but 
before trying to start the engine i thought i had better see what  condition it was 
in. i done a cylinder pressure test which showed a 50% loss  though the 
piston rings.at this point i asked a friend for advice and after  severial 
hypthosis we came to the conclusion that the car had'nt been run for  approx 4 years 
(service history).and the loss was comming from gummed up piston  rings,
does anyone know a way of freeing these off ?
the rad is now off for repair but i think it has also breached into the  
transmission cooler.
whats the best way of draining the transmission system ?
thanks  chris
