Fitted the spare engine to one of our cars because it has developed an appetite for oil and and the block/crankcase paper joint has failed after 25 years and 60,000 miles. For those that drain the engine cooling system for winter I drained the engine after a run when it was hot as I didn't want the removed engine lying around with wet cooling passages a breeding ground for rust. By the time I had removed the radiator I could see in the water outlet that the cylinder head internals were dry.
