Engine Storage

SSGN · 06-01-2021, 06:05 AM

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.

So does Case/IH farm equipment I have used it and it’s a very good product. I read some where that StayBul also has one

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.
