Hi Tomick, I've read in a number of posts about what to use when assembling the motor. Everything from specialised build oil to simple anti-corrosion spray like WD40 and the like. Whats best to use especially if it's likely to sit for a while before being started (if at all). Chasecar

Hi Chasecar, you will be getting a lot of different answers to this question. If I lay up my nitro motors for any length of time, they get cleaned, given a light coat of machine oil or atf, and put into a sealed container with silica gel. This is what I do and it works for me. Other guys will have other methods. I do not think that there is any one best method. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

I would avoid using wd40. While some manufacturers suggest it in their manual its not suitable for all engines. Wd40 can attack some of the more perishable parts like seals depending on what they are made of. I just run some after run oil through it myself.

After run oil is what ALL of the nitro engine and fuel manufacturers recommend
