PRESERVATION
PROCESS:
1. Clean the
Engine
Before preservation, it is
essential to clean the engine
thoroughly to remove any dirt,
debris, or contaminants. This
prevents the accumulation of
substances that could
contribute to corrosion during
storage.
2. DRAIN FLUIDS
2. DRAIN FLUIDS

Drain the engine of fluids such as oil and coolant.

This helps prevent the formation of sludge and
deposits during storage. It is advisable to replace
the oil and filter before storage.

5. SEAL OPENINGS:

Seal openings and air intakes to prevent the entry of moisture, dust,
and contaminants. This helps maintain a controlled environment
within the engine.

6. Rotate the Engine:

Rotate the engine periodically during storage to prevent any flat
spots from developing on bearings. This is particularly important for
aircraft engines and vehicles with long-term storage plans
If possible, rotate the alternator on a monthly basis.

7. Monitor Regularly:
Periodically check the engine during storage to ensure that the
preservation measures are effective. If necessary, reapply corrosion
inhibitors and address any issues that may arise.

1.Preventing Corrosion: Corrosion can occur when metal
surfaces are exposed to moisture and air. Engine preservation
helps create a protective barrier against corrosion, ensuring
the engine remains in good condition.

2.Maintaining Lubrication: Lack of lubrication can lead to

friction, wear, and damage to engine components. Preserving
an engine involves ensuring that critical parts are properly
lubricated even during periods of inactivity.

3.Avoiding Contamination: By sealing openings and using

desiccants, engine preservation helps prevent the entry of
contaminants, such as dust and debris, which can contribute to
engine damage.

4.Ensuring Readiness for Use: When engines are stored for an

extended period, they may face challenges in starting up and
operating smoothly. Proper preservation helps ensure that the
engine is ready for use when needed, without the risk of
damage or malfunctions.
