Hi all.

I picked up my block, crank and all the other lower end bits from the 
machinist today. I now need to oil to prevent rust over winter as 
assembly most likely wont start until spring.

i read somewhere (and now can't find the info) about a fogger (?) to 
spray the cylindar bores to prevent rust. Someone out there must know 
what i am talking about....
ter
Also, is plain motor oil ok for the rods and what not else or is there 
something better recommended for this?

One more: block painting....i need to paint the block still and it is 
now to cold so i will have to wait until spring. i already have some 
rust on the out side but have been told that modern block paint will be 
fine over minor surface rust. Is this true? What is a better (or the 
best) block paint out there that I can get for this situation?

Now to start aquiring head the bits!!

Thanks all!!

Tim
