    My motor with new parts

    I need to reclean the motor and get rid of the corrosion from storage on the manifold yet but the new parts are on it.

    Looks good!

    I hear you about the storage corrosion. My brake booster, water pump, and a few other underhood items now have this thin rusty film on them..

    Nothin a little water won't take off I'm sure but still....

    good tip. I just bust out a little simple green and a tootbrush. Usually lasts the season before it needs to be touched up again. Hows yours coming Chris?

    When I stored my cars in a barn over the winter, the best way to avoid the corrosion that I found was to spray anything aluminum or exposed metal and headers basically the whole engine down with WD40 after parking it. Works great, nothing corrodes or gets fuzzy, and it easily rinses off with some engine degreaser and a hose in spring. A lot of it burns off on the drive home even

    That being said...What's the best way to remove it if you didn't go the WD40 route? Never thought I'd have a problem where I was storing it... but I did
