Hey guys,
I got a spare engine for my Z that has been fully disassembled. I just got it back from the machine shop for a very minor clean and spec. How exactly should I store it until I have the money to finish the bulid and get the TT kit? I was thinking of bagging and oiling the "moving" parts and I also remember something about not leaving a crankshaft on the ground because it can cause it to deform under it's own weight??? Any advice is greatly appreciated and what type of oil should I use to keep it safe in the down time?

Thanks,
Mike

 

Bag the block and store it on end. It should be oiled from the machine shop already. Heads and crank should always be stored on end...never laying flat.
