Whats the best thing to lube a vintage motor with for long term storage? I was thinking about using Vaseline on the crankshaft & other sleeve bearings, so it will not run off. I want to prevent corrosion. Would a pure mineral oil work and not evaporate away? I want to pickle some Ranger engines and store them away.
Thanks,
Jan
