I have a small dilemma... My engine is happily mounted on the fuse and I have had the prop on to fit cowls etc. I am still at least six months from flying and I have had to spin the prop through a couple of times for various reasons.
I've had the engine for nearly 12 months now and I live in a fairly humid environment. So basically I would like to preserve it again.
From what I can see I have two choices. The first one which I do not like is to take the engine off, fill it with some more oil and rotate it around to coat the gears and cams etc with oil. The second would be to hook a hose up to the top port in the engine and force oil into it at about 25psi. I am told that this will cause the oil sprayers in the top of the engine to work, and coat everything in a nice layer of oil.
My problem is I cannot think of a really good way to do it. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks
