Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / January 2004Advice on long-term storage of engines?
After many months of unsuccessfully trying to sell my NOS 232, I have decided to keep it for a rainy day. I still have the original crate, and it will go back there for the near future. Should I coat the bare metal components with grease or oil? Should the engine be placed in a plastic bag, say, or be left "open" to the air inside the crate? How about Silica Gel? Any thoughts from the NG (and I know you guys have many thoughts) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Larry B. Grease yes Plastic bag yes Seal the bag Buy one of those tubs of desiccant that absorbs water & seal it inside the bag Put a big a.s sign on it saying what it is and there's a tub of water in with it, so don't fling it about Mark (the advice is worth what you paid for it) Dunning > After many months of unsuccessfully trying to sell my NOS 232, I have > decided to keep it for a rainy day.

Don't get it too dry, unless you plan to change the gaskets and other items sensitive to too low a humidity before installing it in a car. Karl |
