If you dont run any engine for a long time the gaskets can dry up.. Don't ask me how I no.
I have a 1970 Chevelle that sits in the garage for up to 6 months straight without being started. No way I'm taking out on the roads in the winter. Also no way I can really heat up the engine to thoroughly dry things out by letting it idle in the garage. Especially the oil in the crankcase. Coolant may come up to operating temps but it really takes a load on the engine, driving it, to heat up the engine internals and oil. It takes a long time running just to dry out the exhaust system.
Been doing this for 13 years, when should I see the gaskets start leaking because they haven't yet?
