motor sitting for months?

alright guys ... say you had a motor sitting for months ... and it took a couple minutes of cranking to get it to start ... what would you do? ... I mean, what products would you add?

I'm sure there is **** gunked up all over the place ... most of it probably burned off, but I'm sure the valves are caked with carbon and other nice things.

just run it for liek 20 minutes and get some injector cleaner, and that lube control stuff it will be fine, once all the smoke stops coming out from the exhaust from the crap buring off inside your engine your good.
