Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 22:22:19 EDT Subject: WD-40 as protectant on freshly machined parts I kept a can of WD-40 right by my side when I rebuilt my I6 240 last year. Every part which I cleaned received a fresh coat of WD. It worked very well on keeping rust out of the cylinder bores too. These started to rust almost immediately after giving the block a final wash before assembly. All I did was sray them down and wipe them with a fresh rag and the rust was "gone" for all intents and purposes. I don't profess to be an expert on the stuff either, but I believe it does have a "kerosene-like" base as was already mentioned.

It worked great until the other day when I walked into a parts store and noticed a chrome tube and dip stick for GM big block. It looked just like the one I made, except shinny, had the guy behind the counter measure it and it was 21 inches long which is the same as the one I made. Bought it and checked directly against the one I made, it did not even need to be recalibrated. Oh, and it only cost $8.00, screws right in and looks sharp. I have a question, where can one get a hose that connects the breather cap to the air cleaner? I tried using heater hose but it is to heavy to make sharp bends. Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Re: Anti-Seize Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 19:38:13 -0700 WD-40 is great for protecting crank journals, cylinder walls, etc. Just make sure you wipe everything down with some sort of degreaser/solvent before starting final assembly. As far as assembly lube goes it depends on the application. I personally think that a good moly based lubricant is the best all around for engines because it's extremely slippery and also has high pressure additives to reduce metal to metal wear during break in. Automatic transmissions are a different story. Most of the professionals I've worked with use Vaseline.

The windage tray is a screen that bolts between the block and the oil pan to help scavenge oil off the crank and prevent air turbulence from the crank from keeping oil suspended in a mist. If the engine is rotating fast enough it can act like a tornado. The other item which you describe functionally is a crank scraper. It is a plate that also bolts betweent the block and pan. It has cutouts that profile the crank as it rotates past. Its purpose is to scrape oil off the crank. You can make one out of sheet metal. Try PAW for a source of windage trays.
