Hello,

  I recently purchased a good running, used 2.1l
motor.  I am planning on keeping this engine on
reserve until my current engine dies.  Any pointers on
how to properly pickle this motor until I need it?
  The engine was rebuilt 3 1/2 years ago and has 60k.
I am thinking about pulling the heads and cleaning up
the gasket mating surfaces to prevent further corosion
then reinstall the heads (lightly tightened) without
new rubber gaskets to prevent dust from getting in the
cylinders.  When it comes time use the engine, then I
would install new head gaskets.  Good idea or bad?
