Hello,
I'm just curious.
How to prepare a Renesis engine for a longtime storage.
Anything special to consider?
Kind regards
Thomas
Stuff some desiccant packs into the intake ports and
exhaust ports. I don't think you will find desiccant spark
plugs that will fit but I could be wrong.
Filling the chambers with oil might work to keep
the rust down. Make sure all the coolant is drained.
You could also fill the water jacket with oil.

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
thomas
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.
