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 |
