   pug been in garage for last 3 years bought some engine stop leak, clean burn, rad flush and engine flush, red ex, any other chemicals / additives that would be good to use? i'm guessing engine stop leak is the most important one to soften the seals etc

   drop a bit of oil down the sparks (a tiny bit) just to give the piston rings a bit of a lube. Ideally you want to turn the engine over by hand to get oil into the head and lube the cam
   
   you don't need all those additives. I would first change the oil for something cheap as old oil is bad.
   Run the engine for a bit then do another oil and filter change

   Disconnect the fuel pump and turn it over for 10 secs, then reconnect, before you start it.
   
   Don't bother with any additives really.
