nah its not wrapped up. i will get on to that right away, dont want anymore surface rust over the winter months :)

just wrap it in cling film thats all i do with mine just to keep the dust out. i also slar grease all over the bores but just spay oil or something just to stop them flash rusting !

ok sounds good thanks, DJ browney.

if i oput grease over the bores, should i clean it out befor i assemble the pistons etc and put them in?

or can i leave it in there for when i run it?

so i have been ordering bits for my pistons, as i didnt have any old rings. a piston ring cleaner. a ring spreader as i dont fancy snapping any rings lol and also the new rings.

damn postal strikes and i only have one so far, be it the best
