Hi Mick,

Since you already started the engine for 2 minutes, I would think you built up oil pressure so that shouldn't be a problem. I would check the oil level, anti-freeze color and level, add fresh gas to the tank, crank it over and watch for oil pressure.

If it's got fair oil pressure, above 20psi, then I would run at idle until hot but keeping a close eye on all the gauges and do some walk arounds. If nothing shows up after a hot idle run, then I would change the oil/filter and coolant. Start it again watching all the gauges and run until a hot idle. If all was hunky dory, I'd take it for a drive and build up some rpm.

Any problems should show up fairly fast.
