[QUOTE="mrmarrone23, post: 10275533, member: 92766"] So like the title says it was my first time pulling the motor, however, everything went relatively smoothly. only mistake i made was not pulling the radiator before hand and it got a little banged up when pulling the motor+trans out w a cherry picker. I pulled the motor about a month and a half ago due to a seized motor. Dropped the oil pan to find tons of shavings, stripped the block and found a spun rod bearing. Crank got pretty messed up but ive been told i could probably reuse is w oversize bearings. My questions arent so much about pulling the motor but how i should go about storing the parts waiting for the build. i plan on sending the motor to mmr in march to get a built shortblock, clean up the heads ect.. My question is for these next 4-5 months, is it okay for all of the parts to be sitting out? They are laid out on my ping pong table in the basement and i am scared if dust particles will mess with anything? The long block is assembled w the heads, valve covers, S/c, oil pan ect and sitting on an engine stand, wrapped in a garbage bag. This im not too worried about because the block will be getting re-done. As far as the transmission sitting out..is this bad? i have a garbage bag around it, but it is not air tight because i was scared of any condensation messing it up. so i guess my ultimate question is how do i store the transmission safely so i dont run into any problems when dropping the motor back in. this will also be my first time installing a motor so any hints and/or tricks you guys have would be greatly appreciated. sorry for making this so long guys, and thanks for any help :beer: [/QUOTE]
