I'm not sure fogging the cylinders will do much as they are plated and not cast-iron bores of old. It won't hurt though.
3 years? I'd be sure fresh brake fluid was installed just prior to storage. And fine wire mesh over all openings. Those sneaky rodents can get everywhere.I've seen several nests cleaned out at my favorite CT motorcycle shop of bikes brought in by owner's who could swear that the bikes were stored out of harm's way.
What are the rings?Could they corrode/stick?
How do you fog the underside of the rings?
Thanks for not being obtuse and directly answering an honest question. I guess I'll go on thinking about it out loud in hopes that someone else is willing to contribute.Fogging is about leaving a coat of oil that will last while the motor is in storage. Sure the cylinder walls in question may not be in imminent danger of corrosion (though they could be etched by acids if old oil was left behind). But do they not benefit come eventual next start up by the oil left behind?If you fog a motor manually the rings aren't at temp and sealing fully, would not some of that mist get past them then to coat more of the piston and ring surfaces? I don't recall any marine motors that dropped the recommendation to fog just because of EFI (and Nikasil which is used in some applications).I don't routinely fog any of our current motors anymore because storage is very limited (though not that I type that sentence I should probably go ahead and fog the generator because that does it a lot). But if I was going to store something longer than a year I still don't see a downside. But I'm willing to learn.

I too was asking an honest question?
