"Very important on Detroit two strokes as a few cylinders will really breath when sitting. A little block heat on the DD's solves the liner corrosion issue."
Our solution was to replace the gaskets on the air box covers , to make removal/replacement a 5 min job.
Spraying fogging fluid into each cylinder bore , a spin with the starter and respray the cylinders where the piston was in the way works here for soggy FL summer layup.
All that fogging fluid makes a bunch of smoke on engine restart after 6 months , but there is no white smoke on following startups , so the cylinders have not rusted.
The dry stack exhaust is sealed , and the blower intake also gets covered .
Nothing will stop changes in air pressure from the engine , but at least there is no breeze thru it.
Summer layup is as important as winter layup, 6 months of non use is not what DD's were built for.
