Let the engine rest on a cart
 

Hi everybody, i am finishing my complete car restore (engine and full paintwork), and i wan't to know if i can leave the engine 1 month resting on a wood cart with the heat exchanger installed, not the muffler.

I have the original ones on my 73, they look like the SSI.

Is it dangerous to leave it there that time? i don't want to bend or broke anything

Thanks,

Ariel

It's fine. Prop it up with some blocking so it doesn't teeter.

What are you worried about? Things bending over time? It is not a concern, you can store long term on the heat exchangers. The metal components never see enough force to where they would yield / deform. Time does not change this ...

No le pasa nada viejo... ;)

No problem, but wrap it up good to keep the varmits out. Mice will get into anything.

Gracias!!! (thanks!!!)
