Block and Head Preservation

What is the best way to store blocks and heads for long term storage? I bought some nice stuff from john deere tractors for rust and corrosion-it works nice but what about putting the heads and block in some sort of bag or wrap oif some sort?

Keep them inside and away from moisture. If the parts still need machined then don't worry about a little surface rust. If the parts have been machined then you need to bag them, use desiccant, ect.

Eastwood sells an anti-rust coating that is like a spray on wax coating. It's very good stuff.

The phone co uses some stuff called corrosionX. goes on like clear coat but contains no wax or silicon. looks like a milky goo and protects up to a year, doesnt run or sag. put the block in a trashbag, squirt it down and close up the bag. I got my rockers stored like this until I put them on. Looks to be about 10 bucks a bottle

inside your house where the temp is high year round & the humidity is lower. No opinion on the best oil. If it needs to be outside I'd see if Billy Mayes space bags are still available, you bag it then evacuate the air w a vacuum cleaner, oil on all surfaces & some bags of dessicant. Temp changes (below the dew point) are a killer for making moisture condense on surfaces.
