Aidan's loose oily bunghole actually runs a track lap
Depends on where you're storing them. Bedroom closet? Set them in a box to keep off dust, put box on newspaper so they don't stain the floor/carpet.
Garage? Wrap in garbage bags after wiping everything down with well oiled rag. Throw in some dessicant packs if you have them. Anything new, like a cam, keep in the unopened original packaging and it should be fine.

Cover every thing you do not want to rust in WD40 or your favorite spray lube. I have some fogging spray that is intended to be used to spray cylinder walls for long term storage. It sticks great, but is easy to clean off during re-assembly.
Get some small parts bins or trays to keep all the head parts organized if you are taking the head apart.

Of course they need a sleeve.
Yes they should be greased.
Any auto parts store will have fogging oil. No need to wait.
And seriously, one of you needs a name change.

<p>Why do they need a sleeve. Isn't the point of delrin that it makes good sliding surface?</p><p>Engine isn't coming apart till the move, amazon is easier.</p>
<p>Wow, first time ive ever seen osmething cheaper at vatozone than amazon.</p>

<p>Starting an engine build spreadsheet. Basing it off of curly's stuff. Budgeting about 2k for parts. Hoping to get well under it.</p><p>Ebay rods</p><p>9.5:1 supertech 84.0mm pistons.</p><p>BE VVT Oil pump</p><p>pretty much stock everything else.</p><p>Going to get the engine on the stand once I move into the new place and strip the block. Hopefully it isn't trash.</p><p>How should I store stuff? Like the head, cams, block, crank etc. Wrapped in plastic? Oil them first?</p>
Don't forget Wiseco rings. Unless you wanna rebuild it more than John Mann. I think you wanna plan on deleting your oil jets too.
You don't need fogging oil. I've done a dozen engines, none of them have rusted. What are engines filled with? Oil. They won't rust. Just don't have them cleaned and then put the parts away. Get them machined and cleaned when you're ready to reassemble.

</p><p>Machining in what way? I've heard lots of good stuff about the ebay rods.</p><p>
</p><p>Yep, on the list.</p><p>
</p><p>Not true. They have everything against them as a drag car. Rubber bushings, IRS, PPF, etc. List goes one. I have about 2.5" of travel, and the bumpstops put me right about where the axles are parallel, where its supposed to be. </p><p>
</p><p>True. But this isn't going to happen overnight, and I plan on trying to powdercoat the block, and other fun stuff.</p><p>
</p><p>I know they need to be like that. But I was wondering why. I'll read more later.</p>
</p><p>No, they don't. You suck at setting up a drag car.</p><p>Your wheel hop problem will not be solved by delrin bushings. You were on the bump stops last time, you probably were again this time even with your higher ride height. Get off them, and you'll be fine.</p><p>
maybe something is getting lost in translation they need to be like this https://www.miataturbo.net/build-thr...9/#post1193050 also a good read http://www.dupont.com/content/dam/du...20Bearings.pdf

The delrin needs something to rotate against that isnt a threaded bolt, or a cam....
The pick up points need to clamp against something to maintain alignment among other important things...

this is the stuff right here. not only is it hard to come by, but this is less than half of what it usually sells for.

Not bad. 4 bushings a stick? I need to get better at the lathe. I'm not good at being precise with it.
<br />Need to watch some youtube.
