just got back up to darwin last month from completing a course in perth for 3months where i got myself a 1.6 to put in the LWB but just got told that i have to go to sydney for another 3 months for another course which means ill have to put of swaping engines out till i get back. just want to know what you all reckonmend to use to stop the engine for seizing?if any.cheers.

is royce gonna get his avatar taken away for dribbling in tech thread :roll:

but no wat damo said should be enough if ur worried

i would realy put it 90" from tdc, fill all boars with oil and fill to the top, replace plugs and oil filler cap.. 100% safe

5.Garnish with the olive or lemon twist.

all done

And remove rocker cover and back off all rocker arm adjusters so that all valves are closed (or even remove the rocker shafts and arms altogether), then replace rocker cover. Water vapour in humid air will get into at least one cylinder bore and cause rust. Best to seal 'em up.

Just remember when you go to use the engine to reset valve clearances and allow plenty of time for the oil to drain from the combustion chambers.

Also, although Royce recommended any cheap oil, I'd use Chainsaw Bar Oil or Motorbike Chain Oil. It's got a great stickyness to it and won't run off after long periods. Put the engine on an engine stand and rotate it 360deg a couple of times to get complete coverage.

It shouldn't sieze just sitting there. If you're worried about the bores getting surface rust (in the humidity up there it's possible) squirt some oil into the bores and turn it over to distribute.

What Royce said is valid, a little extreme but would still work.

As mentioned before, fill it to the brim with oil. This is how a mate stores his LTD and Landau when theyre not going to be used for a long time, also put it on wheelstands if you can so tyres are off the ground, or at least park it so all tyres are on planks of wood.

1.Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes. 2.Stir for 30 seconds. 3.Strain into a chilled engine block via each plug hole. 4.Add a dash of orange or Angostura bitters if desired 5.Garnish with the olive or lemon twist. all done
