Someone asked about anyone not having problems with  unpickled engine. Several years ago I removed an 0360 Lycoming for an airframe  re-build and left it hanging in a leaky barn. Everytime I walked by it I kicked  myself for how I was treating it: no oil added anywhere and no plugs in the  exhaust or intake. After maybe 4 years I decided that since I was going to sell  the project it would best to send the engine into a shop to check for corrosion  and top it. No problems anywhere. 

 I live in southern Ontario Can. so see a variety of  weather.

Thanks for the good news that not every engine goes  bad. If I were to pull a jug which one would give the best view of the cam and  would that screw up the ring seat for that cylinder, Thanks again

I had a maintenance shop look at my engine that was  sitting for two years; they said to pull #1 and #4. That would allow to see all  the cam lobes.

No, you don't have to unseat the rings.  Put the piston at top center.  Pull 

the cylinder off far enough to just clear the wrist pin.  Push the pin out and 

leave the piston in the cylinder.  This is a two man job.  You will need help 

getting the pin out, and also to help you to not drop the rod and mar the 

case.
