I'm fitting the spinner and cowl to my plane. Now the lycoming is new from Van's, and there is a tag on it stating that the preservation oil is good for 6 months. It also says to not turn the prop , or you must redo the preservative oil process. Well obviously when fitting the spinner, the prop is going to have to move to do the work. My plane is currently sitting in the basement of my home, nice and dry in the winter, but in the summer the humidity does rise. I have a dehumidifier running all the time in this weather, and I also have dessicant plugs installed in the top plug holes. It does stay fairly dry down there, I have balsa R/C planes that live down there for years with no problems. There is no mold or rust/corrosion on anything in my basement. However, I never had anything that cost $25K down there either
.
Should it be ok? Any precautions? Should I redo the preservative, and if so, how do I do it?
Thanks,
