Hi Lightning Fan ,
First off , Thank You for the photos and I'll be following along with this thread to see the test stand runs (Ya KNOW ya want to !!!!
) .
And yes sir , your idea of filling the crankcase (and some in the cylinders too) with oil and spinning it with the plugs out , getting every bit of the inside sloshed around with it , is the method I use to store all my model engines that aren't in frequent use . I have engines that have sat 20 or 30 years and still spin perfectly because of this . The oil I use is nothing fancy , just good old fashioned automatic transmission fluid .
