I've never had one stick by doing this and some of my engines has sat quite some time. If possible have it inside to avoid as much condensation as possible.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

theakerstwo Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well who ever you give it to cover up the intake and exhaust maniolds because creatures can crawl inside and you can get moisture in the intake some how no matter what happens .I think it would be a good ideal if a mack engine is to be set up for a few years is to miz some oil with some fuel and use the primer or hand pump if it has one and pump thru the injection pump and then turn over some before covering. This may keep the rack from sticking with the new fuels we have today it is not that had to stick a rack from sitting. glenn Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4223-866-sitting-around/#findComment-22128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to him around dinnertime and he had just got back at the shop. Today though is another question.

Rob you must have plenty of room for all those trucks,parts, etc.Hi Joe, great to know he is getting by without problems. Of course I do not wish problems on anyone no matter what they drive.I've only got two acres at my place. I did have it zoned industrial to build my body shop and not be hassled by neighbors. Don't really bother anyone, and don't trash the outside with junk, so I'm left to be. Not a lot of room, but enough that I stay out of trouble till "Momma" discovers I've brought something else home!Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

NoClueJoe66 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm starting to wonder about him, he on myspace every now and again.
