Title: Storage of cylinder / liners
Post by: Craizeehair on October 30, 2024, 11:15:33 AM
I’m stripping the engine again on the CB360 this winter. I plan to split the cases and take my first look deep inside an engine. Is there anything I should be doing to the cylinder regarding storage when it’s removed, do the liners need any attention whilst removed and waiting a few months to go back on?

I'd cover any bare steel with a whiff of some conservation oil... be it simply Diesel, ACF-50 or just WD-40...

I agree, I've used grease in the past, don't forget to do the very top and bottom edges so all the steel is protected.

It's an overkill - I also use a storage bag and keep them in a heated place rather than in my garage.
I use the bottom of my wardrobe or my heated office.

Thanks for the tips, I’ll make sure I get them protected.

Grease, but make sure all is covered and then a big bucket with diesel to get rid of it, on the 360 make sure when the crank is out you fill the main ball bearings with oil and spin them, if its a long time do it regularly, and the big ends
