Re: Block Storage

[dcdriver@xxxxxxx]

Engines {crate} used to come covered in cosmolene.
my 426 wedge was bought new in 64 and i bought it in 73-4 and was still coated with the stuff.IF your planning on long term storage,I'd go with cosmolene IF it's available,if not I'd use a good quality grease. Spray on's tend to disipate over time.Check a spray on very thourghly before trusting it to long term storage.Good Luck with what ever you decide to use.

Apparently guns have similar to engines rust-in-storage issues. There's some 
comparisons of different approaches to prevent rust in stored metal at this

This puts a whole new meaning to "firing up" an engine! :)

Thanks,
