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.

Re: Engine Storage
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.

Re: Engine Storage
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.
