I am storing my ZR for a year in my garage and I am done with the maint. however I had a question about covering the engine bay.

Can I cover it with bubble plastic? Dumb question, but I get a lot of dust in my garage and would like to protect the engine from all the dust? I know not to put blankets because of the rats, ect, but will plastic hurt anything? BTW, the ZR will be covered with an OEM Nissan car cover!

The wife looked at me like I was some alien from outer space, LOL!

Thoughts?

I already removed the battery and plugged the muffler and air intake up with oily rags.

 

you getting deployed or sumtin?

 

Yeah, going to Korea for a year!

 

Why do you want to go to Korea. Did George declare was on Korea. I knew it!

 

Gets me out of IRAQ, thats why. It was either IRAQ guarding nasty a$$ prisoners at Camp Bucca. So what do I do, crazy a$$ Arabs or North Korea. I chose Beef Bugogi!

BTW, I just lost (2) fellow servicemen to an IED 3 days ago, No thank you, I'll eat fried dog before I go to that sand hell hole!

BTW, I have been there 5 times already! Been to Korea once before, its not all that bad!

 

well i wish you luck over there. i was in Iraq for 12 months and have NO desire to go back

 

Yep **** that country, literally! Bastards hate us!

 

DMZ duty ?

 

Nope, in the rear with the gear. Assigned to an Intel unit,

 

MI ?

Beats freezing up on the DMZ...

 

FYI, I've heard you need to put a gasoline stabilizer additive into your tank if you're going to leave it for a long time. Gasoline can and will break down / separate. I read this in a classic car magazine a long time ago.

Also, I assume you're putting it on blocks?

But, as far as the engine bay goes... aren't you using a car cover already? That should be enough for dust. You sound a bit paranoid to me, hehe...

 

Yeah, I think I am laying off the plastic, it is car covered. I did mix stabalizer in the gas last night so I should be good to go. I will be back on mid-tour for 30 days in about 6-8 months. So I will be able to drive it and run all of that gas out and re-fill it with fresh gas before I head back for 4 months.

I am not putting it on blocks. I put the stock tires on padded carpet. I hope that will suffice. I also have Volks in the closet, so not worried if the stockers go to ****.
