Default Long term engine storage

Thanks for the replies.

I backed the rockers off recently, as turning it over once a month or less is probably unecessary. I had a chap come round with a bore scope and the engine bore etc has no signs of corrosion!

I did think about pumping oil through the main oil gallery, but I havent sorted my oil filter yet. When I take the valve covers off there is plenty of oil clinging to everything so I would emagine the engine bearings/journals being mainly enclosed should still have the oil there after the last run to handle a few hundred or so turns by hand!

Jac Mac,
JO car is quick and well sorted, might have almost as much HP as mine and be as light, its a nice goal to aim for though!
