Re: Restoration process

Paul,
Thank you for your input, I do appreciate everyones advice. So you are saying it is ok to work on the motor and once finished it will be ok sitting? It is out and would be the easiest part to start on until I get the rest of the car prepped and ready to begin restoring. I just found out my Water pump is not original, and it is a date coded item. I love the hunt.

If you keep the motor indoors in an area that doesn't have large and rapid temperature swings, it doesn't matter if a rebuilt motor sits. There is a time limit as to how long the motor oils and assembly lube used in the rebuild will last, but it is several years. If you use a good start-up procedure, any ill effects will be unmeasurable.
