i just bought a F23A1 with 81K from a 99 2.3CL from H22 euro-R and ill be storing it for the winter in a unheated warehouse at work. what steps do i have to take to keep this engine in good condition. this warehouse is my only option and im gonna be spending alot of $$$$ on this motor. so i want everything to work when i put in my car in this coming summer.

 

Just drop it right on the oil pan, straight on a pallet and let it sit there full of fluids no not really

 

nah im gonna drain the oil in there. and probaly put new oil in there.

 

actually, im havin the same problem too..my motor is just sitting beside the CL at school and its just gonna sit in my garage when the car comes back till i decide to put it back in or swap something else in..

 

 

wtf mate

 

i think he is in an auto mechanic class, in the class room.

as for storing the engine, try googling it, or call acura and tell them your gonna store your car for the winter and what are some of the precuations you should take in when storing it for a long time.

 

im hearing if i leave the oil thats already in there that could help as a preservative. but ill just ask the mechanics at my job when i go to work today.

 

why dont you use a bunch of bottles of seafoam, that way it will stay clean and also over the winter it will take off all the deposits.... so the engine is going to be like new fresh and clean

 

It'll eat away his seals and gaskets if stored in the motor for a long period

 

but if hes doing the whole engine work wouldnt he want to replace those anyways with new????

 

u should just drain all fulid, seal up all opening, and when u're ready to work on it...pore in a qt of 10W-30 and turn the motor manually a few cycle to let the oil run down the wall.

 

Cuz it's corrosive

 

i think there is a product at the part store design especially this kind of matter. cant remember what it was called but I saw it at a O'Reily here.

 

dude if you become LAPD then you wouldn't have this problem anymore.

 

what?
