"Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then" This past week I had the great fortune to obtain a 1965 A-4 # 77345. Intact and in "good" condition. It had been running until it was removed about 8 months ago. Some water got into the cylinders during removal, and she was slightly seized. A couple of doses of MMO and she broke loose and turns smoothly using my hand crank. I plan to use some of the parts as spares on the MC. The starter and alternator both checked out fine at the shop. My main question is how best to prep the block etc for extended storage? The oil in the pan is old but no signs of water. I have, using the thumb test, good compression on 1 and 3, #2 is weak and nothing on #4. I believe this will improve with more MMO. Also how do you store your spare parts on the boat for extended cruising: starter, alternator, carb etc? Dan S/V Marian Claire
