Storing a crank shaft
I'm about to remove my crank shaft, but i've heard stories of them warping due to laying them the wrong way or storing them incorrectly... is there a special way i need to store one while I rebuild the engine? Do i just lay it down on a flat surface or do I need to stand it up on one end like a billiards stick?

How do I go about doing that? Would leaning it up against a wall be ok?

Just store it standing up strait. Don't lean it or place it at an angle. if your worried about it falling put a couple of boxs' around it, it will be fine.

Store mine upright, coated with oil, wraped in plastic garbage bag, wraped in bubble wrap, in a cardboard box, in the corner of my closet, flywheel side down.

stand it up on its flywheel side and thats it, if it doesn't stand on its own, put a flywheel on it to help hold it up
