Long Term Storage - Oil in Cylinders & SAFC Settings

[Sun_Ice4]

I did a search on "storage" and read all the info, but still have one question. It may be 9-10 months before I bring the Talon out again, so I'd really like to drop a teaspoon of oil into the cylinders, and crank it over with the key. I know how to disable the fuel, but am not sure what happens with the spark when I turning the engine over. I assume I can't just leave the wires dangling, not hooked up to anything, and turn it over with the key.

- Should I put the plugs back in, attach the wires as they normally are, and then turn it over?

- Or leave the plugs out (but still attached to the plug wires) and turn the engine over?

- Or do I remove the plugs, and ground each of the plug wires to the frame, then turn it over?

Also, should I use regular 10w30, Marval Mystery Oil or an actual fogging oil?



And one other thing regarding the SAFC. Will the settings be lost, and require tuning again when I bring it back out? If so, would leaving the battery in with a trickle charger prevent this?

(And yes, learning how to tune is on my list of priorities.. I just want to do it on my time, not out of necessity!)

Thanks for your advice.

just leave the plugs and wires out...all your trying to do is coat the cylinders so they arent dried out on the next start

That is correct, but are you certain I can just leave the plug wires dangling and turn the engine over? The spark will still occur as normal.. doesn't the current have to go somewhere? Without some sort of resistance or ground, won't that cause damage?

there are two plugs on the right upper side of the timing belt cover. Pull both of them out. This is your CAS sensor, it will not give a signal to the ECU therefor the ECU will not distribute spark, or gasoline.

my safc kept the setting from the oner before me so it was unhook and still kept the setting so you should be fine
