.

BTW: Squirting oil in the cylinders of a horizontal engine isn't
terribly effective, however, it doesn't hurt either.

But it would at least lubricate the bottom of the cylinders where most
friction presumably occurs...would it not?

I'm curious about this as I have 1200cc VW industrial engine I intend to
revive and it has not started for quite some years now....first I gotta
replace the exhaust however as it's rusting away...
