It is very interesting to read how many opinions there is about after run oil!
I have been using Pacer after run oil for a long time with great success (have picked up some rust when leaving a motor for 6 months closed with the glow plug in!).
BUT
i had a .21 motor laying in spares in a cardboard box on a shelve in my garage for more that 9 months. (Waiting on a replacement rod).
After reading this forum i went a checked the motor for rust etc.
Nothing at all! Only thing i did was to when i stripped it was to spray out with Buggy Blast and put a rag over the box and put i on the shelve!
So my theory from now on is:, once finish with racing, take the side plate of, spray it out and leave untill the next race!

I use Breakfree CLP gun oil to coat my engines during long term storage. The stuff keeps moisture out and it has a teflon additive that works pretty good! I used to get some rust on my cranks with aro but after switching to Breakfree the motors store well. On some motors I use the Hobbico aro but like someone else said bearings don't like that stuff.

With all these home brew oils people are using , just remember that true aro will not foul up your glow plug when you goto fire up your motor.
These proven oils for one application of lubrication I gurantee none of them are meant to pass through a glow-plug. This oil is probably attaching itself to your glow-plug coil and pretty much ruin performance, until you buy a new plug. Which is costly.
A bottle of ARO costs nothing and many people offer it. Go with a big name..or name you can trust and be done with it. No reason to reinvent the wheel.
Also MMO might be in aro , but isnt it funny how everyone says its always mmo or something rebadged. Same color perhaps , but I wouldnt be so sure there just rebadging it all the time.
Peace of mind = buying the $5 dollar bottle of ARO thats going to last you so long youll probably throw the bottle away and buy a new one from being nasty rather than use it all.

I used Breakfree CLP all the time and never thought to use it on a motor!
One thing that worries me is the teflon!
Do you flush the motor before running it?

I used Breakfree on my motor bearings and it freed them up like crazy. It last for about a day. I coated a motor that I was not using during the summer. Later, I started it and it ran great! I just keep a light coating on the engine surfaces. I don't see any negitive effects on my engines. I don't flush the motor at all.
I store my other collection with Breakfree and have no rust or pitting. Think about it, both things are made of the same material. Breakfree works well.

One question if you do plan on leaving an engine on the shelf for a long time for whatever reason how should it be stored? Plug on or off, heat sink off....afterrun etc....
