Okay so I have my l92 up on the engine stand slowly getting everything I need to put it in my car now there is oil in it right now should I keep it oiled up or drain it or just drain it's old oil and put in fresh oil it's going to sit on the stand for a while since we all know how long it takes to get our projects done I want to know what would be the best way to care for it thanks

I would just drain the oil and maybe squirt a little oil inside the spark plug holes and turn it over by hand. Reinstall the plugs, place a couple of big desiccant bags on the engine and put a big plastic bag over the whole thing.

Andrew thanks for the advice I'll do that then I just didn't know whether to keep it oiled up or no ill just probably put in a little and turn it by hand every other day

Turning it over every other day is way overkill. Maybe once per quarter...
