It's been a long time since I've posted on this site. My '74 is in long term storage mode, waiting for me to retire. A year or so ago I picked-up a 1972 2.4 long block motor at an estate sale for $200. I immediately disassembled the motor to determine if there were any catastrophic issues. (no serious issues seen) It has been disassembled since last year.

My question - will letting the motor set in this condition indefinably cause any issues? I keep it misted with oil and covered.

thanks

I had to read your post 3 times to make sure I was reading correctly. A 1972 2.4 (6) long block for two hundred bucks??? Was this a Corvair motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and if not, where can I find one of those??

As others have said - you should be good with periodic misting and turning.
