Hi all,
Just my views on engine storage, learned some the hard way and some from
finally learning to listen. Ok, some of the time:)
The best thing to do is not to store. Fly it every couple of weeks.
Store it in a climate controlled hanger. I still dream about having one of
those.
If you gotta store, remember the lycoming cam sits way up near the top of
the engine. No long term protection from corrosion. The 2 best and well
respected engine o'haulers in the area both are firm believers in the use of STP
if you don't fly often. Less than 75 hrs a year.They say you can tell the
difference the moment they crack the case.
If you use it, the cam and lifters are in great shape. If not, they get sent
for O'haul.
As for storage oils, part of the design is for cling ability. It stays on
the cam longer
What they say not to do?
Once it has been pickled do not pull the prop thru every now and then. You
just wipe the oil off the cylinders. Don't use an engine heater that is put
on a timer and cycles every so often. You just make a big water manufacturing
system.
The best thing to do? Fill it full of oil. I'm talking about 3 gals worth.
Yes it fills the intakes, weeps past the rings and fills the cylinder heads,
drips out the carb, and gets into the exhaust system. Makes a good way to
find that annoying leak too. When its time to fly again, pull the plugs and pull
the prop thru, change the oil to the normal oil you use and the correct
amount, fire it up and kill a few mosquitoes from the oil in the exhaust. No
sticky valves and a cam that is the same way you put it away.
The only other thing I have heard , with no experience, is a whole engine
dehydrator.

Curt,
That is what I did to my Champ which has an O-235. I filled it to the brim with oil when stored for the winter. It was the Cont. O-300 in my 172 that I sprayed with LPS-3. SOrta hard for me to fly every couple of weeks with the crappy weather we have been having here in MN.

How about turning the engine upside down every so often to let the oil
contact the cam? This would be for an engine stored in your garage or hangar
for an extended period of time.

storage but no in stock anywhere here

[rebel-builders] engine storage
If you are filling the engine up with oil, really any good product will do.
Shell does make a storage specific oil, and I think Phillips does too, but
they can both be run in the engine for a short time. I just drain the storage
oil I use and save it. I do not run the engine on it.
