Title: Temp block preservation
Post by: turbohunter on December 03, 2020, 08:59:23 AM

Hi gents
Finally getting close to receiving my CJ block back from the machine shop.
I’ll be putting it together myself in my garage. It is not a controlled environment so the temp is way variable.
On my long storage blocks I slather on 30 wt with my hand and put a bag over them.
My question is, in a garage environment what would you use if you’re doing a slow build?
Is there a light spray that would fill the bill?

I’ve had great luck using SP-400, it’s an aerosol product from CRC.

Thanks
These are the types of products I’m thinking about.
I’m wondering if they would leave a residue that may not be ideal for a build.

The more I think about it slathering on 30 wt by hand works.
I’ll just chalk that up to pre coffee mind wandering.

I use light wt hydraulic oil, in a heavy duty spray bottle.

LPS1 or 2, keep the moisture off, easy to clean up and doesn't make a mess applying it.

I like that stuff and to me, it has a excellent smell to it.
