Default Removing Spark Plugs????

Ernie wrote:
Many thanks to Brian, dp, Greg and Joe Blizzard. The spark plugs will
remain in place unless there is a definite need. But, then again without
being redundant, I wonder why they recommend removing the plugs and squirt
oil before storing for the winter. Your thoughts on this gentlemen.


Certainly you'll need to get them out to put oil in the bores so as to
stop rust over winter.

Make sure you turn it over a few times by hand with the oil in & the
plugs out, also next season give it a quick turnover, again with the
plugs out, to make sure you won't create an hydraulic lock when starting
for the first time.

When you put them back in each time (just finger tight for winter) make
sure you use a dab of neverseize or similar, also any other bolts,
you'll regularly need to remove. It makes the job easier & stops
corrosion within the threads.
