You can store a rotary engine as long as it's been prepped.
1. ATF in the engine to keep the seals moist
2. Turn the engine over every couple of days or a week with a socket wrench on a pulley
3. Purge fuel pressure
4. Empty gas tank
When you start her back up use fresh plugs, fresh gas and injector cleaner.
