[Healeys] Extra engine, break it down or leave it together ?

[Thomas Morrione]

Jerry (et. al) -- will be very interested in replies to your question. I
have a 66 BJ8 engine that was dismantled and is now in boxes. Head and block
have light rust from moisture as does the crank. Pistons, rods, etc. are in
box that seems to have been spared water damage.
