[Healeys] storage

[Chris Masucci]

Hi Jim,

I don't know if that is available these days or not.  However a suitable
alternative that I have used, and stored my Healey block with for 4 years,
is 2-cycle engine fogging oil.  It dries thick and gooey like Cosmoline and
washes off with simple green and water or similar.  There wasn't a spot of
rust on the block, crank or head and all sat coated in plastic bags for
several years.

Spray each part liberally first, cover with a large plastic bag or wrap it
loosely with a plastic drop cloth, spray a nice fog into the bag and seal or
wrap tightly immediately. Should be good to go for years.

Cheers,
Chris

is Cosmoline still on the market, and would it be plausible to cover and
engine with it before long term storage.  i can remember as a youngster
helping my dad coat farm equipment with it.  we had a few drums of ww2
surplus around and used it on lots of metal things since it rained a lot in
oregon.   might work.    hjim
