Re: Engine storage
I just called a friend who is into old tractors and one cyl engines. He has a Rumley Oil Pull tractor that as designed uses kerosene for fuel and a light oil in the cooling system. It needs to run hot to burn the kerosene efficiently. He said he uses 10w non detergent for the cooling but maybe to store a flathead, kerosene might be a good 'coolant'.... Certainly gonna drain well when the time comes.
