Re: IML: Keeping Parts Clean for Future Use

[Longramx2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

One thing I use for storage of engine blocks, heads, and other parts of that nature, is old refrigerators laugh if you must but it works very well, and if you really want to take it a step further then wire the plug directly to the light and use the light bulb to keep it extra dry inside. I get them at my local scrap metal facility for about $3.00 each. I rip out the lower racks leaving just one on top and put the short block in the bottom, its some times necessary to bust the plastic shelves off the door so it will close, then I put the heads in the freezer with plenty of space left for all the other parts one frige will hold a complete big block mopar with room to spare. I myself dont use the light and have had engines stored this way for eight years so far with no rust yet. my basment is full of them. I've been the butt of many redneck jokes because of my uniqe storage of parts, but it works and is very cheap.
