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..

Especially if you use Marvel Mystery Oil on them. Good stuff, pleasant odor, and clings for dear life!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
