Engine storage query

(23-09-2014, 12:40 PM)Janne L Wrote: Clean it up and keep it dry, if you have a stamped soil floor in the shed cover the ground with a tarp that you also wrap around the engine, there are gasses and moisture oozing from the ground that can cause metal to rust, that's why it's so bad to store cars on anything but asphalt/concrete.
You could spray it with wd40 or similar to give it a light coating of oil for protection.
And make sure there is no water left! I don't know how cold it gets on that island you call home but if there is a risk of freezing, make sure it's properly drained.

All of this could be a bit over the top for 3 months but better safe than sorry :-)

Cheers

Cheers for that, yes it does get to the point of freezing from where I am and the shed is on a concrete base but I will still wrap it in a a tarp. Shoud I leave the oil in it or drain that aswell?
