For engine storage a good starting reference is Tony Bingelis' book Firewall
Forward, starting on page 48. Another good reference can be found in the
EAA Hints for Homebuilders, pg. 36 of the September 1996 issue of the EAA
Experimenter. In addition, the October 1998 edition of Light Plane
Maintenance, pg. 2, discussed Shell Oil Company's new Aeroshell Fluid 2F, a
new engine-preservative oil designed to protect engines against corrosion
brought on by months of inactivity. This oil is a highly modified version
of 100-grade Aeroshell oil, originally formulated to protect engines
shipped overseas in WW II.
The EAA Experimenter article was interesting in that the builder pretty much
followed Tony Bingelis's directions and then wrapped the engine in a clear
plastic twin-size mattress wrapper. The clear cover allowed him to check
the color of the desiccant plugs and the thermometer/hygrometer ( Radio
Shack) inside the wrap.
There are many other sources of information available including the engine
manufacturers. Years ago I remember someone telling me that they just put
the engine in a fifty gallon barrel, filled it with oil and then sealed it.
If you need copies of any of the above I can mail or FAX them to you.

Hi Gang:
I have a newly rebuilt O-320 that I need to store for a while. Does anyone
out there have some details on pickling an engine for about a two-year
storage?
