... The WD-40 is good for getting water out of cracks and little holes but does not prevent rust.
... In the old days we, in most cases, would blow out the starters, generators, manifolds and etc. with compressed air First! Then we drained what we could out of the engine. We pulled the oil filter off, pulled the spark plugs and pulled the coil wire. We then cranked the engine over about 30 seconds with the drain plug still out.
... Next, with the drain plug replaced, and with new filter and the crankcase filled with a mix of light viscosity cheap motor oil and 20% alcohol we cranked the engine without firing it up for a couple of minutes. Then we did a normal oil and filter change.
... Check ALL the running gear for water in the lubricant. I’ve even lost a full set of front wheel bearings because of a bad inter seal. I have since quit playing in water and mud…. But I let the grand-kids do it... they even have a sand box!
Rocks Rule!
Have a good one ;) and CUL Don S.. aka lakota
