Thanks for your input.
Filling the chambers and the water jacket with oil, will mean I would have
to tear down the engine for a clean up after storage?
Would be no problem, because I would do a tear down anyhow for a detailed
look at the engine conditions.
kind regards

No! A little oil in the coolant won't hurt and you can
always flush the engine with kerosene.
Might smoke when you start it up for a few minutes
but that is no problem.
My Cosmo oil O-rings leaked for 15 years :) Always got a cloud
of smoke when I started it every day.

Good to know. Thank you.
