All - I knew I forgot to say something early this morning when I mentioned
Kano Lab's "Weatherpruf".  I also have used Fluid Film as a rust preventive.
It is a Lanolin (Sheep Wool) based product that some local restoration
people swear by. I bought some at a local NAPA store. One garage that I know
of sprays Fluid Film in the rocker panels and other rust prone areas of
their early 50's Ford wrecker and their mid - 60's GMC service truck. No
rust visible!

WD-40 is definitely not the way to go - it was designed more as a water
dispersing agent. In fact, it can cause some slight corrosion just by
itself, as I found out on some thread cutting taps. Kano, makers of Kroil,
has a good product called Weatherpruf. It is a spray-on product that creates
a waxy, long lasting coating that can be removed with any type of solvent.

What rust preventative (Preferably spray on) do you folks use.  I want to
store a pair of complete cylinder heads (conceivably for several) years and
have, in the past, not had very good luck (WD40 etc).

Smearing grease, and storing in a plastic bag??

I'm open for suggestions, besides painting the mating surface -
