Storing Your Honda
5. To prevent rusting in the cylinders, perform
the following:
• Disconnect the ignition coil connectors
and ignition coils from the spark plugs.
• Remove the spark plugs from the engine
and store them in a safe place. Do not
connect the ignition coils to the ignition
coil connectors.
• Pour a tablespoon (15–20 cc) of clean
engine oil into each cylinder and cover
the spark plug holes with a piece of cloth.
• Disconnect the injector connectors for
each cylinder.
• Push the start button several times to
crank the engine and distribute the oil.
• After cleaning the spark plug holes,
reinstall the spark plugs and the ignition
coils.
• Reconnect the ignition coil connectors
and injector connectors.
6. Spray a water-displacement corrosion-
proof lubricant (without Teflon or
molybdenum additives, such as CRC 6-56
or an equivalent) into the throttle body
(pages 139-140).
7. Using a commercially-available fluid
evacuator, drain the fuel.
