I am thinking about buying a running engine as a spare, its an n/a with almost 100ks but was running perfect before the front end collision. my engine however is still running strong.

Is it possible to pull the engine and store it? i was thinking it would rust since i would not be able to empty the engine completely of water. LMK what you guys think? thanks

Just dismantle it completely or you can use standard storing procedures, starting with foaming oil.

If you are actually going to pull the engine, then disconnect all the cooling stuff that is appropriate to disconnect. Then, cover all the holes so mice and stuff don't make homes.

I have 2 big plastic storage boxes from wal-mart. You can put the engine block in there. Also in the other I one and storage all the intake, exhaust and the other parts to avoid mice and another problems.

Just fill the engine with coolant? Use a special hose?
