I have two transmissions and a couple of spare motors that I want to break down so I can store them in the crawl space under my house. The wife says the garage needs to get cleaned up! It stays dry but there is a lot of moisture in the air what is the best way to keep the cases from corrosion? I was thinking cosmoline spray then putting the parts in heavy duty plastic bags and boxing them up. Is there something that's easier to clean up than cosmoline?

How long and how damp?
Protective spray (NOT WD40) and well wrapped (air tight) is probably good for most situations. Make sure the spray says on ALL machined surfaces. Long storage or very damp, I would use the soaked cloth as suggested. I don't think you need "Vacuum sealing" but would probably use packing shrink wrap over the bag to compress out some air and keep it from "Breathing". Also "assembled" is better than disassembled as mating surfaces are mated. |
