General motor question
I'm building a motor my self and I will be getting it soon but it wont be done for a long period of time of course it all depends on the green stuff ($). If I leave the motor on the stand in my garage will it build up rust on the cylinder walls if it does what should I do and what can I do so maybe that wont happen at all. I live on long island ny and its a very humid place (where on a island).. So im just curious on what to do. It coming back to me already bored .030 over so I don't feel like re boring it just to get the rust off if you ask me. Well thanks for your time hopefully someone has some pointers on this subject.

RE: General motor question
Is it coming as a complete motor? If its not assembled you can just put a light coat of motor oil in the cylinder bores. I do it by soaking a shop rag with oil and wiping down the bores. It doesnt take much, just enough for an even coat. If the pistons are installed, just rotate the crank until a piston is down then oil that bore. Repeat this until you get all the bores. Check everything aboutonceaweek and you should be fine.

RE: General motor question
I built my motor over a 1 1/2 year period, I tool some old towels and lightly sprayed them with pam (cooking oil) of all things, repeated it about once a month and never got any rust or damage from it, works great and it's pretty cheap.
