I think my motor was in the car for about 2 years before I crank it. I did not put
oil in the spark plug holes or turn it over during the time it sat in the Cobra. Just before we crank it I did prime the
oil pump with a drill motor till I had 30 pounds of pressure on the gauge. If you build you motor using 30 weight
oil and store in inside a garage it should be OK. High and low temperature and humid are to be considered.
