So I finished my stroker block and I taped the head up with painters tape and the block sat in storage for about 4 months. I went to check under the tape and I got an ole rusty surprise.
So what does everyone do to combat rust on the machined surface while not assembled? I figured if I oiled it the tape wouldn't stick. I guess I could oil it every 2 weeks or so and stick a body bag over it.

 

Just clean it with steel wool and some light oil , it should clean right up .

 

And then coat it with a little gear oil until assembly time.

 

Fluid Film.

 

I actually might have some of this laying around.
Thanks for jogging my memory
