When the engine is to be stored or removed from operation for an extended period of time, precautions should be taken to prevent rust accumulation, corrosion of bearing and mating surfaces within the engine, and gum formation in the fuel system. Prepare the engine for storage as follows:

1. Drain the lubricating oil from the engine and add 2-1/2 quarts of Rust Preventive Oil which may be obtained from a reliable oil company.

2. Drain the cooling system, add MOPAR Rust Resistor and fill with clean water.

3. Run the engine at idle speed for three or four minutes (avoid overheating) to:

(a) Circulate the Rust Resistor to form a protective film in the water jackets and in the radiator or heat exchanger.

(b) Distribute the Rust Preventive Oil throughout the internal parts of the engine.

4. Remove the top of the carburetor air cleaner and with the engine running at approximately 1000 rpm, pour 1/2 pint of Rust Preventive Oil through the carburetor air intake. Turn off the ignition as soon as the 1/2 pint of oil has been drawn into the combustion chamber.

NOTE

If the engine will not run under its own power, turn it over several times with the starting motor to distribute the oil.

5. Drain the Rust Preventive Oil from the crankcase.

6. Remove the spark plugs and pour one ounce of Rust Preventive Oil into each spark plug opening. Turn the engine over four or five revolutions with the starting motor and install the plugs.

7. Drain the cooling system (one drain cock in radiator, one at each side of engine block).

8. Drain the fuel system tank, fuel pump and filter and carburetor. Operate the carburetor throttle lever several times to empty the accelerator pump system.

9. Remove the carburetor air cleaner, the oil filler cap air cleaner and the outlet ventilator pipe air cleaner. Seal the openings with masking or adhesive tape. Also, seal the exhaust outlet opening in the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe.

10. Replace the element in the oil filter after cleaning the filter housing.

11. Remove the storage battery and store in a cool, dry place. Replenish the water in the battery cells to cover the plates 3/8 inch. See that the battery is fully charged and keep it fully charged during the idle period.

12. Protect the engine with a waterproof cover if it is exposed to the weather.

13. Make periodic inspections to see that the engine is properly stored and that all seals are intact.
