Hi all, i have bought this camshaft and lifter organizer on eBay to store away a camshaft which could be a long long time, I don't want it to rust up any ideas on what to put on it to persevere it, i have some isy break in lube left over or i was thing wheel bearing grease, any ideas, thanks for looking and if you response, john...

 

Marine grease will work well, if the environment is relatively dry any grease will work well.

 

Thanks Sugar Bear !! john.....

 

You can put grease on it if you want but it is a mess to clean off. To be honest with you I have seen more parts with corrosion under layers of grease than I have seen it do any good. I have cranks and cams that have been sitting for 10 years with just a light spray of WD40 and they look just like when I put them there. What is probably more important than anything is to keep the temperature fairly constant wherever you are storing them . I keep my shop between 68 and 70 degrees 24/7/365 and nothing ever rusts.

 

Thanks Bill, we have a lower level in our house, A small door to enter the room it is about 10x5 its very dry down there, sound like that's where i need to put it, thanks for your input on this, john...
