I'm putting my motor back together, and have noticed that the oil transfer tubes and oil deflector plate have both flash rusted over the last two days since I cleaned them with solvent. Since I'm putting the motor back together and not starting it for a month or so, should I coat these with assembly lube?

Clean the flash rust off with a scotch brite pad and solvent again then spray them w/ WD40.

I considered WD40, but have had that stuff dy out on me before. When I received my roll cage material via mail, I cleaned it all up and coated it with WD40, only to find rust all over it a month later. I guess since these parts wont be exposed to the elements (while being assembled) the WD40 will probably hold up better, than some tubing layed out on my garage floor.

I would use motor oil or assembly lube.
