prevent rust on internal parts??
how to prevent this?
i have been using motor oil and have had little rust on some parts is there any oils that will last longer that motor oil? and keep them rust free
iv buit come plywood boxs for the rotors and eshafts i plan to soak the wood with oil aswell as the part then put it in a plastic bag sound good enough
i was told to use wd40 on my plates and housings its been 5 months so far so good

This may sound rather stupid. One of the best, and cheapest ways to prevent rust on polished engine parts during storage, is non-stick cooking spray. Clean up afterwards isn't too difficult, but is highly advised.
Of course, you could also coat the parts with vasaline. Use an old paint brush to apply a thin, even coat.

i'm still not sold on WD40, i remember back in my mountain biking days it would actually dry out parts over time if not used with some consistence. cooking spray.. sounds interesting? haha
worth a shot. water doesn't like oil and thats what cooking spray is, so hmm. might work well.

Yepperz. That stuff will actually dry to a sticky residue which will repel moisture. Clean up requires a solvent to remove it. I used to think a freind was crazy, because he always kept a can in the garage, for spraying crankshafts and engine blocks. Then I saw an engine he had sprayed 10 years earlier.........
WD40 is great for displacing water, as that is what it was designed to do. Water Displacing, formula #40. the first 39 tries failed.........
The downside to WD40, it can actually be washed off with water, so in a humid climate, it must be re-applied rather often.
