my new enginehas been sitting scince december and all i have done is put oil in it. If u are unsure talk to your engine reconditioner and say that it may sit for a coupla months and he may say just put oil in it and thats it |

I have some experiance with aircraft engines. You should keep it under cover in a dry and cool place. Cover it with a tarp. Try to plug up any holes, so bugs and dirt can't get in. Turning it over once in a while will help. After maybe two years of storage when you start it, it might blow abit of blue smoke to start with until it cleans itself out, and then you will be fine. |

If you really want to keep it clean you should drain the oil and put inhibitor in the engine. |

take out the plugs and put oil down the bores from the top.. this will stop the rings growing on the side of the bore and creating grooves..also to stop the block corroding out in the water jackets... get water soluble oil(cutting oil)and fill the cooling system with it to stop corrosion..and like the others have said cover it up and sealall holes so wasps ect cannot bring dirt dust etc into the block _________________
