M14P Inhibiting
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:43 am
The manual has a section on inhibiting with various steps to take for
up to six years although I was told by a Russian mechanic that up to 10
was no problem.
I've had mine in storage for about 5 years and spray with preservation
oil and flood cylinders with 70 weight about every six months.
I probaobly need to think about doing the carb, fuel pump and mags again.
It was a friends spare engine for his Yak-52 with 980TT and 34 SMOH
following which he locked up #5 and had sent back to Russia for rebuilt
and inhibiting.
Price was right ;-)
BTW the origninal crate is massive at 1350x1250x1360 mm and made of 1"
x 6" boards so having room in a safe controlled environment for storage
is important.
I made a new compact crate out of used Polaris shipping crates. I think
it was about 45" cubed.
To build these in the west would be double the cost as in russia (or is
it romania now). As far as I know only George Coy
<http://www.gesoco.com. has a line on new ones anyway and they'll only
be around as long as there is enough sales to keep manufactoring
staff.. I've seen Culp selling the props on ebay for about 3500 USD as
they upgrade to the MT 3 blade.

I have a separate question on the M14P for everyone.
So, the question is, how long can the M14P engine really sit in a shop without
detremental effect? What can be done to maximize it's storage life prior to
mounting? Any idea (gut feeling) of how much more the engines will increase
in price in the next 5 years?
