Very informative Chris. I know a bloke who collects Holdens (I believe some people do:huh:)
He reckons you should fill the engine to the brim with oil, remembering to drain it to the right level again, and leave all the doors closed, but not fully, in order to save the seals from flattening. Fact or fiction? Also is there something you shoud lubricate your cylinders with while in storage?

Personally i do not think filling the engine with oil to the brim is nessessary as long as every opening is covered it will be fine. If you want to preserve the cylinders the best way is by loosening all your rockers so every valve is closed that way guaranteed it is airtight.
As for door seals, they are rubber and pretty flexible i do not think keeping the doors closed will hurt them, they spend most of their life closed anyway.

Cheers, Chris.
