Removing Engine from Long-Term Storage
Refer to the appropriate section for detailed services

engine distributor perform services that you may not be
familiar with.

all openings in engine and remove covering from
electrical systems.
2. Remove the batteries from storage. Install batteries
(fully charged) and connect the terminals.
3. Install alternator poly-vee belt if removed. Adjust
belt tension. (See CHECKING BELT TENSIONER

seconds at a time. Wait at least 2 minutes for

the engine to start). Wait 2 minutes and crank engine
an additional 20 seconds to assure bearing surfaces

minutes. Warm up carefully and check all gauges
before placing engine under load.
