JDR33 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi guys. I was just wondering how long an engine would be fine sat around not being used for? Mine hasn't ran for about 3 months since taking it apart and leaving me with concern as I still need new fuel injectors and a radiator + putting everything back together which I haven't had much time/money for. I drained everything out (engine oil, gearbox oil for clutch change, PAS fluid and coolant) as once the engine is complete I'm going to put fresh in it. Just concerned about it seizing up or am I okay for a bit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I left the oil in mine, but it was outside exposed to the elements for the best part of three years. After priming the engine, it fired up no problems. I suspect the flywheel got a lot of rust on it mind, as the car juddered a lot when trying to drive it. That was two months ago and now the car is driving absolutely solid.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
