Ive tried WD40 only to have a crank need polished again before assy. Seems like ya have to respray it several times in a month. Cosmoline coats and stays. OH, yes csmoline is spendy, but the machine shop who cut your crank should have some laying around and for a small fee might put some on for ya. Last edited by moparnut426; 06/30/12 01:05 PM.

Frankly the oil residue left behind from the crank shop will probably keep it well protected if its stored in a temperature stable environment. If it really worries you, you can just put a thin coat of assembly lube on the journals.. MB

I have found that water displacing silicon spray works well. 68 RR 528" INDY MAXX 07 2500 CTD Southwest International Raceway - IHRA - Tucson, AZ

If you can't or don't want to store it vertically, buy a hole saw the diameter of the main journal, a 1x6 and create a cradle with three supports and the crank will store on a shelf or under a workbench, etc. 2012 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2013 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2014 422 Allstars NSS Champion

Thanks not wd40 ! white lube in the aerosol can will do a good job as a lube and keep air and moisture away from the metal. 7273435-0507121951a[1].jpg (27 downloads)
