I’ve stupidly put my blacktop/st 2 piece sump on a pile of bits for the scrap man. I wasn’t going to be using it but i need one to store the engine for a while. I don’t want to leave it open to the air whilst it’s on the stand.

has anyone got one laying around. condition not a worry.

i will have a look in the garage tomorrow but i may have thrown them away

I’ve got one I started to modify. It will want a dam good clean.

I am very busy with work for the next few weeks but I can leave it out for you.

yep found one lurking in the garage let me know if you want it otherwise its going down the scrap yard

Could you not wrap the engine in craft paper soaked in oil then covered thoroughly with cling film?
I have done that a couple of times with corrosion sensitive stuff and lasted a good few years with no visible signs of corrosion.
