Hey Guys,
If I buy a GE sleeved GSR short block, built by Import Builders, and don't use it for a month or two will I have problems with rust? I know its no big deal if you just have a GE sleeved block sitting around as its easy to clean, but what if the bottom end is already assembled? Is it still easy to maintain, just chilling in my closet for one month+? I'm checking out all my options
Thanks

 

grease it, and cover w/ plastic, stick it somewhere that has AC

 

coat it once in a while with WD40.

 

I'm in WA so no A/C would be needed Thanks for the tips!

 

I did this exact thing with no problem.

 

But what if rust does start to build up, what can be used to get the rust off.

WD-40 with a mild cloth works to get light surface rust removed. If you do coat the cylinders with WD-40 good, it should not rust.

 

 

I use mystery oil. When you get your block, coat it with this oil and you don't have to worry rust whatsoever. I got my block the other day. Got everything installed in the bottom end and I'm ready for the head for serious makeover.

 

Thanks guys! Jeff being the awesome guy that he is, said I can keep my block at his shop until I am ready to install it and they will keep it rust free. Here is to Jeff Thanks for all the replies everyone!
