when storing a bare block how do i prevent rust??
I have a bare lt1 block that has been sitting for a few months and will sit for a few more months b4 i get the money and time to rebuild it. I has a little bit of rust on the surface of the cylinder and crank witch i cleaned of with gentle rubbing and some very very fine steel wool. I was told to coat it in oil but that i would have to do every couple of days probably to keep rust away so i was thinking a light coat of paint may do.
anyone else have any ideas??
Thanks for the help.

Fill a spray bottle with motor oil,clean or old doesnt matter. Douse the crap out of the thing. Then a big platic bag and twist tie it.Check it in a few months and resoak if needed.
