Storage of rebuilt engine
I'm going to store my rebuilt 455 this winter.
I have the valley pan and oil pan off. Would it be OK to spray the internal parts with a dry silicone spray . I will probably being braking in the motor at the beginning of the year. Thanks |

i think fogging oil is specifically for this purpose.

I would put the oil pan and valley pan on even if you don’t seal them to keep the insides better protected.
I wouldn’t spray anything inside, one winter sitting isn’t going to hurt anything. Fogging oil is sprayed inside the cylinders through the spark plug holes, I wouldn’t want that inside if I’m breaking it in within a few months.

Climate controlled storage is best if you can somehow manage it.

No need to drive yourself nuts if it’s on a engine stand.
Get a new roll of kitchen plastic wrap and use the whole roll to mummify it and then if it makes you feel better load a big plastic leaf bag over it and close the end off with twine.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
