Motor sitting for months with no use???
Hey fellas, im doing the ls swap into my cx with GSR tranny, i finally have enough for the motor and tranny from a place up here called JDM Engines INC. I figure might as well get from a place that imports only motors than a junk yard. Plus it comes with a certificate with leakdown and compression on all cylinders. My question is, that since i have the money now im always tempted to go spend it on other parts. If i were to get the motor now and put it in my shed for say...about 3-4 months until i get the radiator, ecu, wiring harness...etc etc would it be ok? Or should i just wait? In the shed it would be covered up away from moisture, but in freezing temps in the next 2 months. My plans are to get everything then right after x-mas swap.
They have i believe 6 b18b motors left, and 2-3 gsr trannies. Once they are out then they take about 4-6 months to get more they said (could be a sales pitch though)
As long as i know the motor will be fine sitting this long i can get it tomorrow, if you guys say i should wait...i guess ill fight the temptation and try not to spend the money (and yes its in the bank)
