Split Case Rust Prevention
« on: June 18, 2016, 06:25:22 PM »
Just painted the case..

My question is what kind of rust prevention will prevent flash rust while I wait for the paint to dry overnight?

Is just oiling up the crank bearings, any journals, etc. enough?

Previously I was oiling and wrapping in plastic wrap but I obviously cant do that now because I'm waiting on the paint..
