Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Need information on cleaning and storing disassemblede...Kip,Good info, MEK is nasty stuff though, better use some protection!WD 40 stands for Water Dispersant 40 days, it removes water and protects for 40 days.Basically an Alcohol and mineral oil mixture, the alcohol aids the water to evaporate and leaves behind a thin oil residue for protectionI would still use motor oil, after you thoroughly dry all parts, it last longer as it leaves a thicker film.Another tip, go to a Marine store and buy some fogging oil, comes in a spray can and is purposely made for preservation purposes.You spray it in to the carburetor of a running engine until it quits, then you can store the engine for 6 months.Keep on building.Hans________________________________________________________________________________
