cylinder wall finish

Watch, watch, watch: WD 40 is the worst thing for rust prevention. I bought a block that was stored for five years; was told it was sprayed once a year. Machinist gave it back to me & said .030 over will not clean it up; looking for another block. Lost a crank that same way. Grease it up boys; lasts forever!

For blocks and cranks in long term storage I use spray white lithium grease, but don't miss a spot.

WD-40 Specialists Rust Inhibitor Lubricant is not the same as the over the counter WD-40. As a matter of fact, WD-40 has a complete line of different products.
