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

An excellent rust inhibitor for any machined surfaces on parts and metals in
general for storage is LPS 3 made by LPS products.  It has been used in the
aircraft maintenance industry for years.  It lasts for a very long time.  Goes
on thin and and thickens as the solvent evaporates. LPS 3 can be Googled to
find a source.  Ace hardware has it on line for $8.99 USD, don't know how much
the shipping is.   I like the 11 oz. spray can for convenience. Keeping the
engine in one piece is probably the best thing to do so things do not get lost
and out of order.  When dismantling an engine a lot of the parts are mated to
certain positions and not a good idea to mix them up due to wear patterns.
