Subject:Engine Storage
From:Bill Collins
Date:Tue, 7 Nov 2006 14:01:22 -0500

I was just given a 2.1 liter engine.  I have no immediate plans for it, so I'd like to store it properly.

My plan is to:
-squirt some oil in each spark plug hole
-squirt some oil in each air intake port
-turn the engine over a couple of times
-re-install the spark plugs
-seal all intake/exhaust ports with tape
-seal all open coolant fittings/hoses, breather hose, etc.
-push it under the workbench.

Anything else I should do?

Bill
