Storing parts? best way to preserve them??

[fastkatanaboy]

I have a crap load of old motorcycle parts I want to keep in the best condition possible and prevent rust and corrosion. I have everything from heads, trans ... exhaust sytems .. ......etc ...etc..

... .. ....should I stpray them down with WD40? Teflon lube???

What is the best way to go??

WD 40 is a good start. Spray them till they are wet then set asside. In a few days you get a film left by the evaporated spray. You can do it a couple times for best results. Then box and place in a dry place.

I use fogging spray -- you'll find it in the auto parts store near the 2-cycle boat oil, or sometimes near the lawn mower supplies.

It's good for the insides and outsides of metal parts, it stays on parts much better than WD-40, and doesn't smell like much of anything.

The US Military stores airplanes in Tuscon AZ. Dry. Dry. Dry. If you dont have a dehumidifier in your storage space look in the boating world for these dehumidifiers in a plastic container. Place the container in a pan and pop the cover. It will absorb moisture.
