Engine Long Term Storage Options

[Bigdamdork]

Hey everyone. I have what I hope is an easy question. I am planning on pulling my motor out either this weekend or the next and am planning on it being out for at least a year as I'm stripping most of the major components out to start working on the longs.

The guy I bought it from owns a German Auto garage so he went through the motor and it runs great right now. He didn't rebuild the motor but did overhaul the FI system from top to bottom. Also new plugs, wires, coil, oil, etc.

Basically, I want to make sure when I go to put it back in it will hopefully run in the same way it does now. I'll be storing it in my garage under a tarp in the corner so it won't be exposed to the elements or anything. I had someone mention fogging oil at some point in the past and was wondering it that is a good idea?

Just looking for any suggestions on what I should do. I figure I'll replace the clutch while it's out as well but that can be in the future.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Change engine oil and filter.
Fog while running until it chokes out and dies. MMO is what I use.
Remove engine, remove spark plugs, dump 3 oz of Marvel Mystery Oil in each cylinder and rotate by hand slowly 5-6 360 degree turns.
Remove/loosen rocker arms to relieve tension on valve springs.
Screw plugs back in till they touch the head.
Re-install valve covers.
Remove/plug intake. Get all of the tubes closed. Mud dabbers love to nest in an engine.

Years/decades later...
Remove plugs.
Tighten/adjust valves.
Spin over with starter with rags over spark plug holes.
Install new plugs.
Start engine and run till oil gets hot.
Change oil and filter.

One clarifying question if you don't mind? I've read it might not be the best idea to fog an engine that runs on FI as you can clog the injectors. Any thoughts on this? Am going to pull this weekend and probably follow your steps just want to make sure the injectors will be ok. They are literally brand new and from Bosch so don't want to screw them up. Again, very much appreciate any advice. TY!
