Any tips on storing engine parts?
I am taking apart an engine core that I probably won't need for a few years.
My plan is to minimally clean the parts with the mineral spirits, then and spray them heavily with LPS-3 and put in plastic boxes. Maybe, wrap with that oily paper or put into plastic bags with desiccants.
Anything else I should be concerned about?
P.S. Also, unrelated, curious, how problematic is a loose nut on a cylinder? One small nut (3/8"?) on a cylinder #1 was pretty much finger tight. If I remember correctly, the previous owner said the cylinders never came off this engine.
