Preventing ignition

[sfkjeld]

Wait, that’s a bit harsh, no? I said I want to turn the engine over with the starter, without the car starting. It’s been in storage for months. I want the oil to circulate just a bit before the car starts.

Yes, I was hoping there was a way to cut the ignition only. I get the issue Blue brought up, with raw fuel dumping into the cylinders. Tho in this case, I doubt it will matter since the engine won’t need to spin much. And I would only need it after its winter storage.

I appreciate your help. But not necessarily your tone.

You would be doing more damage with the raw fuel issue then any wear you would deminish by spinning the engine to circulate the oil before starting.
If you truly feel the need to circulate oil before starting after winter lay up then you should consider installing something like an acu sump system they are designed for that purpose.
