I am building a d16a6 over the winter with PM7 pistons.
My question is when Im done rebuilding the motor, it will sit for 2-3 months. And I want to make sure that the bearings and cylender walls are still lubed for the first startup.
I have rebuilt engines before (and used lucas oil on the bearings) but I put them into the car right away.
Can anyone give me any sugestions? Would a thick oil like Lucas be fine sitting for 2-3 months?

 

theres come good engine building lubrication, its red i cant remember the name of it right now but it was used on my motor and the motor is fulley built and has been sitting for some time now. and its still there fulley intact. i will be lubing it more befroe start up, but the name slips my mind right now

 

lucas is fine for bearings and you should use white lithium grease for the cams whether its going to sit or not

 

whatever you do dont use wd-40 because it is water based and will cause rust

 

you can use fogging oil in the cylinder walls
