Preparing Stored Engine for Flight - 912 ULS
in General Tech Discussion
10 years ago
Airplane and with engine mounted have been stored in heated dry basement for 2 years. Engine has 400 hours and was installed and first run in 1997. Always run on auto fuel and proper spec oil.
Done before storage period:
All fluids drained (Oil and Evans coolant)
Carb bowls were dropped and cleaned.
Cylinders were sprayed with fogging oil and prop spun before storage.
All rubber was replaced 1 year prior to storage.
Rotax Service center performed carb rebuild including rubber and TBO Extension service 1 year prior to storage.
Service center performed Lockwood recommended engine/gearbox checks and cylinder borescope before storage.
Engine has not been rotated during entire storage period.
Want to bring engine back to service in the spring and want to be careful to do it right.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Wayne
