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. |

In addition to the great advice, I like to run the engine on 100LL Avgas before long term storage. Remember, airplanes tend to sit for periods. Avgas does not sour like auto gas and does not require fuel stabilizers. Don’t use it in cars with cats though. It has lead.
