Engine Storage
 

I want to put a complete running engine on a cradle stand and keep it for a rainy day. The shop is always temp controlled. The plan is to prime and turn it over a couple times a year. What would be the best product to spray in the cylinders to keep them preserved?? Any other things I may have over looked?
Thanks for the input.

Sea Foam makes an engine fogger for marine applications, Arnold Greene had told me about it during a discussion of long term storage of an engine.

Forgot to say Academy Sports carries it in stock.

Don't ever start it.
There are some nasty chemicals that are the byproducts of combustion.
They are there after you start it and begin their nasty process of corrosion.

I notice its not available in Canada ... WTH's with that ... I have half a dozen unused cans sitting here. I could send them over to Marty ?

Jeff even a injection engine?

Re: Engine Storage
 

I'm assuming your talking about the 02 sensors that seem to not like some oil products. I haven't had any trouble, but maybe guys with the o2 in the header pipe might want to remove it before drownings.

Thanks Jeff appreciate it. Nothing is available in the Communism Canada! Hell we cant go anywhere right now. I hope to break out soon.

Re: Engine Storage
 

Thanks Jeff that was my main concern. Would this be a possible problem on the injectors on a lt1?

Re: Engine Storage
 

I can't see any Gary. If someone has they will probably speak up ....

I use Stabil Fogging Oil. Pull the plugs a shoot a little into each cylinder. I use it on my Harley for the winter too.

Re: Engine Storage
 

Amsoil fogger oil will not hurt O2 sensors and works great.

Cimguard-10, Yamaha Stor-Rite Fogger and Gibbs Lubricant are also great products and will not hurt O2 sensors..

If you want to add a great preservative to your fuel, that will protect the fuel system and fuel injectors during storage, use the Yamaha EFI Engine Storage Fogging Oil.

I have always used Marvel mystery oil down the carb while running and cap the headers. The Late Great David LeBrun got me on to using that stuff years ago.
