[DML] Re: spare fuel distributor

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is my advice for long term storage of a motor. Keep oil in the
motor. Remove the spark plugs and squirt some oil into each cylinder.
Every couple of months or so turn the crankshaft at least 1 complete
turn. Cover with a towel and put plastic over that. Loosely cover all
openings with masking tape and paper to keep dirt out. Drain ALL
coolant, remove the drain plugs.
