How long can the engine sit in storage while building my car?
In a perfect world these kits can be assembled in a couple months time with some help along the wa., Going at it solo and on a part time / weekend project it can take many moons to complete as many of you can attest to. So to answer the question about how long the engine can sit in storage, the answer is for a long time. We have customers need to get the engine ahead of time to mock things up and then pull the engine out again to put aside. We have a lot of heavy duty lubricant on the bearings and load areas for the first start up. If an engine sits for over 6 months then fogging the upper cylinders with some lubricant like CRC or WD-40 will do some good. We don’t recommend pulling the distributor and priming the oil pump. We do this ahead time, plus it defeats the purpose of purchasing a Turnkey Engine.
