13. Apply a non-friction rust preventive compound to all exposed engine parts. If
convenient, apply the rust preventive compound to the engine flywheel. If
not, disengage the clutch mechanism to prevent the clutch disc from sticking
to the flywheel.
14. Drain the engine cooling system. If the engine will be exposed to freezing
temperatures, install genuine Detroit Power Cool antifreeze or an equivalent
ethylene glycol-base or propylene glycol-base antifreeze solution that
provides the required freeze, boil over and inhibitor protection. Refer to
section "Coolant Requirements"
15. Drain the preservative oil from the engine crankcase. Reinstall and torque the
3/4" – 14 square, magnetic drain plug to 45-50 N·m (33-77 lb·ft).
16. Remove and clean the battery and battery cables with a baking soda-water
solution and rinse with fresh water. Do not allow the soda solution to enter
the battery. Add distilled water to the electrolyte (if necessary) and fully
charge the battery. Store the battery in a cool (never below 0° C or 32° F) dry
place. Keep the battery fully charged and check the level and specific gravity
of the electrolyte regularly.
17. Insert heavy paper strips between the pulleys and drive belts to prevent
sticking.
18. Seal all engine openings, including the exhaust outlet, with moisture-resistant
tape. Use cardboard, plywood or metal covers where practical.
19. Clean and dry the exterior painted surfaces of the engine and spray with a
suitable liquid automobile body wax, a synthetic resin varnish, or a rust
preventive compound.
20. Protect the engine with a good weather-resistant tarpaulin and store it under
cover, preferably in a dry building which can be heated during the winter
months.
Procedure for Restoring to Service an Engine that Has
Been in Extended Storage
If an engine has been in extended storage, prepare it for service as follows:
1. Remove the covers and tape from all the openings of the engine, fuel tank
and electrical equipment. Do not overlook the exhaust outlet.
2. Remove the plugs from the inlet and outlet fuel lines and reconnect the lines
to their proper positions.
3. Wash the exterior of the engine with fuel oil to remove the rust preventive.
Do not wash electrical components.
4. Remove the rust preventive from the flywheel. Flush any soluble oil rust
inhibitor (if used) in the cooling system.
5. Remove the paper strips from between the pulleys and drive belts.
6. Fill the crankcase to the proper level with the required grade of lubricating
oil. Use a pressure lubricator to insure all bearings and rocker shafts are
lubricated.
