RoTa7

i have a good 13bturbo motor in a crashed car. it still stats up, perfect idle, low miles about 100k, i want to know how long will the motor be good for while it is out the car, meaning when i drop it in it will start right up like it does now, what is the time frame i have to put it back in the car and have it start upwith no poblems.
thanks

I give it three months, 5 days, and 3.56 hours before that motor will never start again! lol, no but seriously, check this out:

My N/A wasnt started for like 8 months when I came into owning it, new battery and started just fine.

the motor wont be in the car, it will just be on the engine stand, so do the same rules from aaroncake apply?

Probably there are instructions for a non-running engine even.

Yes, just no need to put fuel stablizer in the gas tank of the wrecked car.

Follow the instructions in my writeup for preserving the engine with fogging oil.
