Default 350,000 miles on 94 LS, leaving it in parking garage in MI for 3 weeks

Is there anything I can do to help it, I hate leaving it for this long.

I think when I get back I am going to turn it over a couple times with the dist disconnected to flow some oil through it, i've just never left such an old motor sitting for such a long period of time.

p.s. car is original motor, transmission, everything, doesn't burn oil at all.

I love honda.

I'd be worried about it getting stolen over it not starting.

It will be fine. Just make sure the maintenance is up to date, and disconnect the battery.

well, it has an alarm and we have a doorman at my building, so i was planning to leave the battery connected just for that reason.

i might just lock it up tight, take the faceplate off the cd player and do some other things to disable the car as a whole, they couldn't get a tow truck into this part of the garage, it's a tight fit.

yeah, pull into your space so the nose is facing a wall, turn the wheel all the way, leave it in gear.

if your worried about the oil (which i wouldnt be) then disable the distributor, and fuel system (with fuses, connectors, and disconnect the battery) and give the crank bolt a few turns until you read oil pressure (if you have a gauge)
