Restaurant *****
I have my car up for the winter, It is on jackstands in a self storage facility,
I am wondering if the engine is going to be OK for a couple weeks of not being started, aside from a dead battery will everything be ok?
I am installing a turbo and the process is fairly slow so it is more or less in pieces until late february when I can get the new head gasket done and at least have it running off boost......will the motor be OK???
just looking for re-assurance!!!
Thanks fellas!!!

It should be fine but I would make sure that anything that is exposed in the engine with the head or valve cover off is coated with engine oil to prevent rust. Rusting of the cylinder walls can mar the surface or ruin the rings when you start the motor for the first time. Also if there is gas in the tank, use a fuel stabilizer.
