What do you guys use to keep your winter collection of raw steel parts from rusting during season changes out in the garage. Unless your fortunate to have a controlled climate shop.
Im using wd40 and 5w20 motor oil.
5w20 sprays really well out of a old windex bottle or the like.
Just dont want my gear sets rusting, rocker pads, extra valve train, or rotating parts to go bad on me.
Whats your tricks or the trade?

My grage is heated, so I dont have to worry about that shit :noel:
-
So unless your in the north pole. What about the summer humidity

Excactly. Pacific NW doesn't get too humid in the summer... it's nice ;D

Move your children to the garage and put the parts inside. They handle the condensation better.

400 bones for a 5 gallon drum. That shit better be made of gold or silver.
Bet its good stuff though.

I spray on WD40 and wipe the parts down with a rag...It's a pain in the ass

Fuck wiping it down, hose it down and walk away

I've coated bores with a thin coat of marine grease, did'nt see any rust issues on any of my stuff, I just got a couple of tubes of the grease and used a small paint brush to spread it on.
-
I like that idea. great for rocker pads.
If you heat it up does it liquify? then when cool thicken back up
-
gearsets go in plastic totes.
After 7 years, still no rust

I had them. But my wife keeps taking them away and using for her items that she cant get rid of.. Maybe going to have to get some camo ones so she cant see them
-
I dunno about heating it up widebody, anytime ive heated grease it just smokes and smells delicious, but usually thats when i hit it with a torch lol.
-
We have buckets we dump diesel fuel and oil in. And dump parts in them. Keeps them from rusting. Or they make a wax-like grease shit you can apply. It's what comes on steel when you buy it. Forget what it's called.
-
cosmoline.
if it stops guns from rusting for 50 years, its good enough.
-
But, it is a pain in the ass to get a gun clean that's been packed in cosmo
-
Heated Gayrage for the win. Even without it, never had anything rust up here... Im partial to WD or cosmoline

Excactly. Pacific NW doesn't get too humid in the summer... it's nice ;D
especially if you are in E. WA, rains MAYBE 15-20 days a year, and it probably wouldnt even be considered rain by Seattle standards

Jeremy, I just tossed the uncleaned parts into the plastic containers.
Never a issue.
I have had issues with gears that were washed with carb cleaner and then sat in a heat garage that got surface rust.
-
Then thats my issue, I clean them in a parts washer to rid of the contaminates
Thanks for the pointers and when you see BLUNDELL before friday, tell him to call Will David, he's got heard a call or text, or email from Blundell in a week

With Dave working at two shops now, he is swamped.
