5. To prevent rusting in the cylinders,
perform the following:
Remove the spark plug caps from the spark
plugs. Using tape or string, secure the caps to
any convenient plastic body part so that they
are positioned away from the spark plugs.
Remove the spark plugs from the engine and
store them in a safe place. Do not connect the
spark plugs to the spark plug caps.
Pour a tablespoon (15--20 cc) of clean engine
oil into each cylinder and cover the spark plug
holes with a piece of cloth.
Crank the engine several times to distribute the
oil.
Reinstall the spark plugs and spark plug caps.
