grumpyvette Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 if your thinking oil evaporates and rust might be a problem your correct! OIL and wd 40 run off or evaporate over long periods http://www.skymartsales.com/lpslabs/ci.asp?OVRAW=lps%20%233&OVKEY=lps%203&OVMTC=standard http://www.lpslabs.com/Products/CorrosionInh/Lps3.asp the PRODUCT designed for that application is LPS #3 your local MARINE SUPPLY (BOATS) will more than likely have a good supply, its a spray on waxy, oil film, grease , that stays in place spray it on ALL unpainted surface metal then place the block or crank in several individually sealed plastic trash bags with(duct tape) if the oil pan is in place I would fill the engine over the crank with oil and place it on an engine stand or off the floor on a pallet or shelf before coating and sealing the engine in the plastic trash bags BTW it says it stops rust for two years.... thats exposed to air!!! in the trash bags I know from experiances its good for over 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Also it may be a good idea to back off all the rocker arms so the valve springs that are compressed don't take a "set" and loose tension. Another good idea is to rotate the engine periodically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. G. Olphart Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Thanks Grumpyvette- good info as always, and good to see you back. (I'd wondered if the storms blew you away). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
